Direction has always been important.  Feng Shui tells us not to position our windows to the west because evil will enter our homes (and strong sunlight).  Kanan Makiya tells us north meant "back of the head" to the Nile-focused Egyptians and that the early Christians prayed facing east, the traditional location of paradise. 

In his novel, The Rock, Makiya looks at the sacred rocks of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in Jerusalem and Mecca toward which so many face for their devotions to present a mosaic of religious evolution.  Makiya's explanation for tradition and belief, albeit fictionalized, is well-researched and helpful in these times of hate and misunderstanding, though I wish there had been more to the actual story. 

Still, the book is fascinating.  Knowing why another religion has chosen to do anything makes tolerance a little easier.  And knowing more about the roots of your own religion is always a better thing Nancy
