>A groundbreaking study of medieval graffiti in the Cenacle — the traditional site of the Last Supper in Jerusalem, the Upper Room — has revealed an extraordinary tapestry of Christian devotion.
…
>Among the discoveries are coats of arms, Arabic and Armenian inscriptions, and devotional sketches left by travelers from as far as Austria, Armenia, and Syria.
…
>Now, a collaboration between the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the Israel Antiquities Authority, and Armenian scholars has brought to light inscriptions long hidden beneath centuries of dust and limewash.
…
>Other finds illuminate lesser-known chapters of Christian history. An Armenian inscription dated “Christmas 1300” likely celebrates the entry of King Het’um II into Jerusalem following his military success in Syria.
Hetum II btw was the last Christian monarch to command a large field army in the Near East.
