Happy Saturday everyone! Another wonderful day in Urfa. Another amazing thing about Urfa is that it is the birthplace of the prophet Abraham (among others that I will talk about later). They have currently built a beautiful mosque around the cave where he was kept safe from King Nimrod as a child. You can enter, Christians, Muslims, even non believers, as long as you are respectfully dressed and see the location. WOW. To me it is just amazing to think that the beginning of modern day Christianity came from Abraham's offspring, and the birth of modern-day Islam also came from Abraham's offspring.

Beautiful card! Fascinating history.
So fascinating things about Urfa Holley, and it's really GREAT that there is a religious place where Christian, Muslims and not-believers could stay together in peace. There is so much need of respect and peace in this world!
Enjoy your days there!
Hugs
