• Abrahamic Family House

    November 26 in the United Arab Emirates ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    The Abrahamic Family House is a group of buildings and gardens tied together physically, architecturally and spiritually. There is a synagogue, a church and a mosque together with facilities for dialogue. The 3 Abrahamic faiths are together. At the entry, you can read "Diverse in our faiths. Common in our humanity. Together in peace." I felt very at home here.
    The 1st picture is of the Declaration that provided the foundation for establishing the house.
    The next 4 pictures are in the interiors of the 3 worship spaces. 1st is the synagogue which gets 2 pictures because of the ceiling. Then there's the church and the mosque. The picture in the mosque focuses on the mihrab that faces Mecca. In all 3 spaces, the light is beautiful.
    The last 3 pictures are taken in the garden that is built on the roof of the connecting buildings. The worship spaces extend up through the garden and are identified by a column with a central faith symbol for each.
