Charred Byzantine bread loves stamped with Christian imagery found in Turkey – The History Blog
The five loaves were found carbonized, which preserved them in such condition the iconography stamped on them is still clearly legible. The most elaborately decorated loaf is stamped with the image of Christ as the sower who plants wheat for harvest. An inscription in Greek around the border translates to “With gratitude to Blessed Jesus,” a reference to John 6:35: And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.”
