Description of Tour
Abraham was the father of the three Middle Eastern faiths. What of Abraham’s children? Join us as we move from synagogue to church to mosque. Trace the roots of these monotheistic religions in Singapore all the way to their place of origin and be amazed by the thread of common similarities that runs through all three faiths. While eternal conflicts have besieged religion, on this trail, appreciate the values of peace, compassion and tolerance that distinguish the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Explore these ancient religions and learn how they are practised by communities in Singapore today.
