Day 2 - Temple Mount & Dome of the Rock

The Temple Mount is a very sacred spot for all three religions here - Jew, Muslim, and Christian. 

Inside the Dome of the Rock, a Muslim mosque, is a large rock where people believe Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac, where Muhummad left the earth on his journey to heaven, and is the site of the Holy of Holies in the ancient temple.

It was built in the late 7th century.  The porcelain tiles have exquisite detail.  It's still hard for me to wrap my brain around something that old still being around, especially looking so good still. 

Even though it's a Muslim place of worshiping their version of God, and we weren't allowed in, I am touched that these dedicated people love God enough to worship Him in their own way.
