Possibly a cross or crucifix. If it were something ordinary like a chair or goblet not much would have been reported. So, I suspect that an unusual religious article, maybe even book, was found.

Jesus didn't spend a lot of time in Jerusalem, having only visited it two or four times (depending on the source) before he died on the cross.

Depends on which goblet/chalice/cup.

I assume it's not the Holy Grail, the Cup of Christ from the Last Supper, but if it is, that would be a big deal - for a cup.

According to the CBN article, also posted above, it is an icon.

Then, it's a painting depicting Jesus or Mary.
I stand corrected.

I would concur in regards to the first and third ones. The even numbered ones, not so much.

The only one I really didn't care for was the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
In fact, I thought it was stupid. I don't know who was more annoying, the ditzy blonde or the mouthy kid.
Whenever it comes up on the tube I change channels. I had forgotten that I disliked THAT one Indiana Jones movie.
