The land of Morocco has always been known as a land of hospitality and tolerance. Tolerance is one of the founding myths of national identity in Morocco. Marrakech was a good example of harmonious coexistence among different peoples of the Book with a synagogue, a church and mosques in the city.
The Mediterranean world adheres to three religions from the East: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They
urge to recognize and worship one God, on behalf of primordial pact signed between the Creator and man, his creature essential. All three refer to holy books and prophetic: the Hebrew Bible, the Gospels and the Koran.
Although proponents of these three religions are massacred thousands in the Middle Ages (conquests, rampages, trials, evictions), they share common traits. All look to Abraham as the first witness to the monotheistic faith. All consider exile, escape to the wilderness as a spiritual trial. In return, the FJ is a sign of God and the hospitality towards him is a sacred duty. Ordinary Time - the time history - will disappear: it is not the time of the Creator. The three religions announce a Messiah or the Last Day Envoy, a reward in the afterlife for the righteous. They also raised enough mystical currents parallel.
religious buildings, they are distinguished by their function. With reference to Jesus and his Passion, the church has the shape of a cross, his last meal is celebrated on an altar placed in the choir: it is a place of worship. The mosque is a place of collective worship and recitation of the Quran. The synagogue houses the scrolls of the Law and is a place of reverent reading where we also study the text and its commentaries. Jews and Muslims try to memorize scripture. Fasting at certain times of the year, must be observed. It has often been attributed to Judaism hope, love of God in Christianity, the faith of Islam.
