A Crucified King and Mysterious Bones: Whose Remains Were Hidden in the Abba Cave?

The second ossuary, found in 1982 in a concealed niche below the inscription

The Abba Cave is best known for being a tomb which contained the remains of a person who is believed by many to have been crucified. This cave is located in Givat HaMivtar, a suburban neighborhood in the northern part of Jerusalem.

The cave derives its name from the Aramaic inscription found on the wall of this tomb. According to this inscription, the owner of the cave was a man by the name of Abba, who was the son of the priest Eleazar, and the grandson of the high priest Aaron. Many questions surrounding the Abba Cave have yet to be satisfactorily answered.

Discovering the Cave

The Abba Cave was discovered in 1970/71, when construction workers who were building a private home stumbled upon it by accident. When the cave was explored, it was discovered that it had two chambers. In addition, an ornately decorated ossuary was found. These were limestone boxes that were used for the secondary burial of bones.

The Abba Cave has been dated to the 1st century BC, and during that time, the customary practice was to collect the bones of the deceased after the body had been buried for almost a year, and have them reinterred in an ossuary.

The identification of the ossuary’s owner was determined based on the Aramaic inscription on the wall of the cave. As mentioned earlier, the inscription mentions that the cave belonged to a man by the name of Abba, whose father and grandfather were Eleazar (a priest) and Aaron (a high priest) respectively.
