Up to that time the believers of both religions had lived peacefully together in the city. Problems arose and the Christians decided to move. They were allowed to settle at Madaba. The government gave permission to build churches, but exclusively on those spots were churches had existed in Antiquity. The immigrants removed the debris from still partially visible foundation walls of the ancient churches. During this work they discovered in 1884 a marvelous mosaic map. It had been part of the floor of a large cathedral. The surviving fragments were roughly repaired and incorporated in the floor of the new St. George's church.
