Do the Christians and the Jew had to go to the Bethlehem ?

Question

Yea zeg, as most muslim had to pay a visitation to the holly Ka'ba at Mecca, during the Pilgrimage season, does the Christian or Jews perform/or do an equal act during a time, what season or occassion it would be ?
* I knew the Thankgiving day, or Palm day would be a once a year occassion,is there a battle or war session in the infriction, instead would you consider it a fun time for soul refreshment.

Answer 1

The hajj to Mecca is considered one the 5 Pillars of Islam and is considered a religious duty. Going to Bethlehem isn't a religious duty for Christians because Jesus wasn't deeply involved with Bethlehem, he just happened to be born there because a census was being taken. Bethlehem, right now, is not the most politically stable place and it may surprise you that most of the people currently living in Bethlehem are Muslims. Many of the Christians fled because of the violence.

Answer 2

Jerusalem is the holiest city to the Jewish people, but they are not allowed to pray on Mt. Moriah, the site of the First Temple and the Second Temple.

Only Muslims are permitted to pray on the Temple Mount.

Jerusalem is the third holiest place in the world to Muslims. They are permitted to pray on the temple Mount.

There are many churches, synagogues and mosques throughout Israel. Al religions have complete freedom of worship, with the one exception mentioned above.

Bethlehem had been primarily a Christian city, but in recent years the "friction" with the Muslims there has resulted in many Christians leaving.

Answer 3

Yes, I would Love to go to Jerusalem. It is a Great place for the Muslims , Jewish People and Christians. I was surprised to hear , that there are Christian churches in Jerusalem. I never knew that , as I figured it was mainly Muslims and Jewish People. Good question .

Answer 4

Yes, Jews go to Jerusalem, very much like the Moslems. In Hebrew, it is called "Aliya."

Spanish Catholics and other European Catholics used to go to Santiago de Compostela.

Today many Catholics go to Chimayo, in New Mexico.

Some Catholics go still to Medjugorje, though I think the Balkan wars and the commercialism of the place affected that.

There's the Black Virgen of Czestachowa, in Poland. And Fatima in Portugal.

Or course there's Rome and Istanbul.

There are other sites, such as Lourdes in France, and yes, Bethlehem.

Protestants (Christians who opposed the Church in Rome) tend to be very localized, and have meetings in various parts between where they live. Church of God like to congregate yearly in Memphis, Tennessee. Their womyn are famous for their fancy hats and ostentatios dress. The Unification Church of Rev. Moon, (their followers were known as Moonies, mostly in the latter part of last century) would gather in Korea. Southern Baptists like to meet in places like Dallas, Texas.

But there is not the importance given to going to Bethlehem that Islam places on Mecca.

Answer 5

I heard a TV Preacher say it to.
But I don't believe it.
God can be where we are, if we ask Him to be.
We can Pray to Him any place, and anytime.
