There were three main goals of the First Crusade. They were to capture the Christian holy land, Jerusalem, and to take Jerusalem for the Catholic Church. Jerusalem was a long sought-after city for all the Abrahamic religions (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) because it is noted in the holy writings of all three religions that it is a prominent city. It is said in The Bible of the Christians that Jesus was taken there, put on trial and crucified. In Islam, it is where where Muhammad rose into Heaven. It was important to the Jews because it was where Abraham was directed to sacrifice his son Isaac at God’s direction.
