Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian

Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian

Jerash, Jordan

This Byzantine church, located behind the pagan temple of Artemis, is dedicated by inscription to 533 AD. An example of its beautiful floor mosaics is seen on the next page. The Church of St. John the Baptist, whose mosaics have been removed to the Roman Theatre of Amman, shares a wall with this church.
