Box said to have ‘Jesus’ brother’ bones’ found in Israel, on display in US

​A 2,000-year-old ossuary, possibly belonging to James, brother of Jesus, is on display in Atlanta. Inscribed “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus,” its authenticity has been debated for years, though a judge deemed the inscription genuine. While acquitted of forgery charges, the ossuary’s link to Jesus remains contested.
