In the footsteps of Mozes on mount Nebo, a holy place in pictures.
Religious zeal can be tiresome, but i was curious enough to venture to mount Nebo in Jordan.
It is said that Mozes ascended the mountain as ordered to and he also showed the promised land from here, he was also buried on it or nearby in an unknown location.
Ancient fortified door.
The land of holy places, looking directly at the Dead sea, hidden on the horizon.
More views from the mountain.
The basilik build on the mountain to commemorate Mozes.
Build on an ancient site,
6th Century AD mosaics decorating the basilica, located at the archeological site which fills the top of the mountain.
Previous visitor, the Catholic pope.
I haven't seen any miracles happen in my life and busloads of pilgrims also travel to mount Nebo, surely a cultural place filled with history .
Thank you for posting @nin0000.
Lovely photographs ....and a worthy topic...indeed. The story of Moses is an interesting one..his story is in the Old Testament of the Bible as well as in The New Testament numerous times.
Religion is man by man's effort seeking the approbation of God.
Christianity on the other hand is God seeking man through His Son Christ Jesus by providing the salvation solution.
Yes...religious fevour is tiresome...what does the Bible say should be the query.
Appreciate you bringing Steemit on tour with you. Thank you for oppportunity to ponder these things and express thought.
All the best. Cheers.
