Correction of yesterday's post

I know that there were a few spelling mistakes yesterday from writing so much so late at night (it was actually past three when I was done and not past two, had the clock on Swedish time) but I will simply let them be and just correct the incorrect fact that I put out there...

It is correct that the Holy city is divided into four parts - Christian, Jewish, Armenian christian and Muslim quarters. But, of course, the church is not divided into the same four sections. Just as anywhere else the Jews go to the synagogue and the Muslims go to the mosque. However, the church is divided into several sections but the correct ones should be: Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism.

I should also have mentioned that Masada is mostly famous for the Siege of Masada by troops of the Roman Empire towards the end of the First Jewish–Roman War, which ended in the mass suicide of the 960 Jewish rebels and their families holed up there. It is the most popular tourist attraction in Israel according to Wikipedia :-)
