One city, three religions.

Western Wall: Jewish place of worship

               Jerusalem, the capital city of Israel, is sacred to the three monotheistic religions of the modern world. An important part of the history of Judaism is based on the quest of the Jewish community for finding the land that God had promised them. This land was Jerusalem. They found it and lost it very easily. After World War II, they were allowed to come back, and today, they finally live in their home.

Christian place of worship

                However, the city is not only sacred to them. It is also sacred to the Christians. It was at Jerusalem, where Jesus Christ was born and executed. It was also there where the resurrection occurred. The Jewish community witnessed the arrival of the Messiah, the son of God sent to the world to suffer for our sins. Many Jewish became pupils of Christ, and they later spread his teachings throughout the Roman Empire. Jerusalem is also considered a holy city for Muslims because it is related to the prophets of Islam: Jesus, Abraham, Salomon, and David. It was also the place where Mohammed, author of the Quran died and ascended to the heavens. The city served as the direction of prayer for Muslims until it was changed to Mecca.
