    Romans there and the first Christian churches were there. After the
    prophet Muhammad died in 632 and Islam began to spread, Muslims also
    included Jerusalem and the Dome of the Rock a holy place for Islam.

    In many Catholic churches, especially


    Cathedrals, the three doors represent the
    Trinity God the Father, the Son, and the
    Holy Spirit. The spires or towers point
    toward Heaven and the symbol of Christ
    on the cross reminds followers of his
    sacrifice for them.
