15036 Samaria (Sebaste; Sebastiya)‎ Latin Cathedral of St. John the Baptist St. John the Baptist Memorial Unknown Samaria Hills Sebaste Palaestina I The burial tombs preceded the erection of the Byzantine church. Actually, there are two of them now in the nave of the Crusader's church, both rebuilt during the Islamic rule with the Roman, Byzantine and Crusader's spolia. They were traditional burial chambers with arcosolia and burial vaults (kokhim) on their sides. In Byzantine time its walls and floors were revetted with marble slabs and tiles (see architectural members section). Near the church one more magnificent Roman mausoleum with lavishly decorated sarcophagi was preserved. The tomb was venerated as the Tomb of St. John the Forerunner apparently from the 4th century CE. Even converted into the mosque in 12th century, it still serves as the pilgrimage center till nowadays. Facing east 2 Corinthian Medieval pilgrims described two marble tombs, which were probably the marble sarcophagi, that John Phocas and other pilgrims after him saw inside the church. The tombs of St. John the Baptist, prophets Elisha and Obadiah, as weel as parents of St. John (Zachariah and Elisabeth) were venerated in the church from the earliest time. The tomb of of St. John, covered with a dome, was located in the fifth bay (from the east) of the Crusader's church, repeating the location of the tomb/crypt (?) in the Byzantine church. ST 1
