Jerusalem A Shared Holy City

The Holy Land For around 2000 years this narrow strip of land at the eastern end of the Mediterranean sea has influenced world culture far out of proportion to its small size. Events that took place here have given rise to the three great monotheistic (belief in one god) religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The city of Jerusalem in particular has special significance for all three faiths.

Jerusalem – a shared holy city Tradition has it that Jerusalem is where Solomon built his great temple, Christ was crucified and the Prophet Mohammad visited on his night journey. Yet the city is not large and the spiritual highlights are for the most part, with the exception of the Dome of the Rock, humble and modest.
