An artifact from the parable of the ten virgins was found in the area of ​​the biblical mountain in Jerusalem.

Scientists have found an ancient oil lamp belonging to the 3rd-5th centuries AD. e., next to the Mount of Olives, mentioned in the Bible. At the same time, archaeologists discovered a ceramic oil lamp near the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, dating back to the late Roman period. This lamp is decorated with symbols of the Jewish Temple, such as the menorah and lulav, and is important for the study of Jewish cultural memory of the time.

Michael Chernin, director of the excavations, stressed the significance of the find since the Jewish presence in Jerusalem was markedly reduced after the Bar Kochba revolt in 135 AD. e. Experts believe that the lamp is of the Beit Nattif type, which was used in a pottery workshop near Bet Shemesh. The lamp represents a symbol of Jewish identity and recalls the unity of Jewish communities during this period.

Heritage Minister Rabbi Amichai Eliyahu noted the significance of the artifact, saying, “This Temple oil lamp combines the past with the present, evoking the holiday of Hanukkah and strengthening the Jewish people's connection to their cultural heritage.”
