The story

Brief but intense dip into the places that for centuries have set the three great monotheistic religions apart. A contest to find meanings, build symbols and choose meanings, in an unstable balance that often tips into violence. Profound, fascinating, intoxicating. Thrilling, like the stories of those men that for centuries have been woven together in these places.
