Shout-out to G-ma

In the humble state of Michigan, many years ago, E's Protestant gramma married her Jewish high school sweetheart.

Today we saw Dura Europos. The 2nd / 3rd century AD site along the Euphrates river in SE Syria. The site is famous for the oldest synagogue discovered and was found with intact frescoes depicting Biblical scenes.

Just down the street, on the other side of the city's main gate, was a Christian chapel.

Cheers to my grandparents for keeping the spirit of Dura Europos alive. We thought of you today!
