>From NPR:

Israeli archaeologists presented a newly uncovered 1,500-year-old church in the Judean hills on Wednesday, including an unusually well-preserved mosaic floor with images of lions, foxes, fish and peacocks.

This is the same location where archaeologists believe the tomb of the prophet Zechariah is located. This article from NPR includes several pictures of the mosaic floor.
