Title The glass finds from the monastery at Ḥura.
Host Item Atiqot 110 (2023) 395-400
Description The glass finds from the Ḥura monastery are typical of sixth–seventh-century CE ecclesiastical complexes: the wineglass, bottles and jugs may have been used in the church liturgy
the lamps probably illuminated the monastery halls
and the windowpanes appear to have been part of the monastery building. Thus, the glass finds from Ḥura attest to an active Christian community, which probably ceased to be active in the Umayyad period (the eighth century CE).
