Jerusalem
About Jerusalem
Jerusalem is a city in the Southern Levant, on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Both Israel and Palestine claim Jerusalem as their capital city; Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there, while Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power. Neither claim is widely recognised internationally.

Yeah. It's a reverse-episode church. Do all churches face Jerusalem? Not all of them. The idea is that they face east. Yeah. Because that's where you're looking and that's where, you know, when you're praying, you're sitting in church facing the front, you're facing towards Jerusalem. If you're ever lost. Yeah. In a town. Go to the church, whichever way it faces. Just walk in that direction. If I'm on my way to Jerusalem.

It's a reversing percy church. Do all churches face Jerusalem? Not all of them, but the idea is that they face east because that's where you're looking and that's where you're praying, you're sitting in church facing the front, you're facing towards Jerusalem. If you're ever lost in a town, go to the church, whichever way it faces, just walk in that direction. If I'm on my way to Jerusalem.

Have you heard of the goose crusade? It was during the crusades. There was a group of crusaders, slightly mad. They somehow managed to believe that a goose was filled with a holy spirit. So they worshipped him and used him as a guide to find their way to Jerusalem. Check the compass direction every time he did a little goose poo. That should be east. Wow, I'm still stunned by that cruelty of that.
