Ancient history juxtaposed with modern living, Jerusalem proved a most fascinating experience. While not a biblical scholar or for that matter one of ancient history, I did find the people living in and visiting this ancient city fascinating.
#1: Contentious Jewish settlement in a disputed Palestinian declared section
#2 & 3: I observed a great deal of piety and love of God, from Chrisitans, Jews and Muslims alike
#4: Holiest of Holies. This is the site where Abraham brought his beloved and only son to sacrifice at the behest of God. Given its significance for Christians, Jews, Pagans and Muslims alike, it has generated many a war for the possession of this small site. Currently, a beautiful Muslim mosque dominates the site... built over many layers of churches, temples.
More coming soon, promise.
