Judaism, Christianity, Islam

The 2000 Statistical Yearbook of Jerusalem lists 1204 synagogues, 158 churches, and 73 mosques within the city.

Jerusalem has been sacred to the Jews since King David proclaimed it his capital in the 10th century BCE.

Christianity reveres Jerusalem not only for its Old Testament history but also for its significance in the life of Jesus. According to the New Testament, Jesus was brought to Jerusalem soon after his birth and later in his life cleansed the Second Temple.

Jerusalem is considered the third-holiest city in Islam. For approximately a year, before it was permanently switched to the Kabaa in Mecca, the qibla (direction of prayer) for Muslims was Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is holy place for three religions namely Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Jews consider the place a holy site and has been of great importance since the 10th Century B.C . The City of Jerusalem is also given special status in the Jewish religious law. Jews who stay outside Jerusalem pray in this direction.

For Christians, this city is associated with the life of Jesus, Jesus was born and brought up here and his spread his word here. In Christianity, the Jewish connection with the city is considered as the account of God's relationship with His chosen people.

In Islam, Jerusalem is considered to be a sacred site in Islamic tradition, along with Mecca and Medina. It is believed that the Islamic prophet Muhammad visited the city on a nocturnal journey. So it was the first direction of prayer for Muslims prior to Mecca and Medina and the holy site Masjid Al Aqsa was considered a pilgrimage center.
