==)Judaism The core reason why Jews view the land as holy is due to the special status the Bible gives it with regard to Jewish religious observance, together with the fact that Jerusalem was the site of the Temple. ==)Christianity The Holy Land is significant in Christianity, mainly because it is the place of birth, Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, the Saviour or Messiah to Christianity. ==)Islam Sharing similar religious beliefs with Jews and Christians, Muslims consider the land west of (but not limited to) the Jordan River to be Sacred as mentioned in the Qur'an, (5:20-21).

This is interesting and still after all these centuries people are still fighting over religion as well as what they consider to be their Holy Land. Sad, isn't it?
