Jerusalem

Jerusalem is one of the most important places of religious worship in the world. Center of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. On Sunday in the afternoon we had an occasion to see an valid monument in the city – the Western Wall. First we walked inside the area of the cult. Then we divided into groups of males and females as the wall had two sections, one for men and one for women. The most shocking was that the part for men was bigger than that for women. As it turned out there were more women than men. We could see, how great was the people´s respect for the place. Some people were behaving in a very interesting way, especially the Orthodox Jews. They were bowing and coming backwards faced to the wall after they finished praying, showing a prominent esteem to their God. People call this place "a phone to God", they write their wishes on a sheet of paper and put it into the holes of the wall – between the stones. That was our experience in Jerusalem.
