Dr. Emma Maayan-Fanar (Art History Department) and Father Remy Kurowski, Chaplin of the French Speaking Catholic Community in Hong Kong led the online conference “The Holy Face hidden in The Holy Land”. The event was inspired by the recent discovery of a 1,500 year-old painting of the Baptism of Christ in Shivta (a Byzantine rural settlement in the Negev desert) by researchers from the Zinman Institute of Archaeology. The painting, a rare surviving example of early Byzantine iconography in the Holy Land, depicts Jesus as a short-haired youth – an early and less familiar depiction of Christ. The conference was coordinated by the Asia Pacific Desk. READ MORE on the discovery here
