We begin our journey at the Sacred Compound, a place where heaven and earth meet – The holiest historic site sacred to more than half of the world’s population.
According to the bible God tested Abraham and asked him to sacrifice his son Isaac at Mount Moriah – this is the inspiration for the collections name.
1000 years later, at this location king David settled Jerusalem as his capital and his son king Solomon built the first temple at 950 BCE. This was also the location of the second temple, known as Herod’s temple, built and later destroyed by the Roman empire at 70 CE.
In Christianity, the Sacred Compound was the site of several important events during the life of Jesus, and in Islam it is where the Prophet Muhammed took his Night Journey to bring forth the Quran.
