The cave, which is rich in detail, has long been associated with Salome, the midwife of Jesus.
A cave first discovered and excavated decades ago is being reopened for new digs, Israeli authorities announced Tuesday.
For centuries, a Byzantine chapel was located on the spot southwest of Jerusalem, and was a destination for pilgrims who would rent oil lamps to pray—many of which have been found intact. The cave is being excavated for a heritage trail that is being created in the region.
