I was on a mission, an adventure, if you will. Because I was so interested in theology and the world's religions, I was may ultimate goal to be immersed in the major 5 religions of the world; Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Being religious myself, it was also interesting to see where my religion originated and where it diffused. However, I do not think I was prepared for the huge journey I was about to undertake.
12/25/16- Still in Jerusalem, I visited the sacred site of the Jewish religion next. Here, I saw the Wailing/Western wall. This is a sacred site to the Jews because it is a remaining part of the old Temple Mount, where many holy temples stood.
The holiness of the old temples is why this wall is used to pray upon.
I also visited the Jerusalem Great Synagogue, which looked like a modern recreation of old Synagogues and newer modern designs.
Stop #2: My next religion to search for was the Buddhist Religion, so I traveled to Nepal, the origin of the Buddhist religion.
Stop #3 - The final stop of my journey was to to the town of Kedarnath, in India. I was trying to visit one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, the holiest temples in hinduism.
12/27/16 - I visited Kedarnath Temple on the 27th. Its architecture resembles many other Hindu Temples, with a triangular roof and large spire. the walls were also made stone with statues of Hindu Gods and Goddesses, all surrounded by the massive Himalayas Mountains.
