Impressions of Local Religious Centers Blog

On september 4th we vistied three local religions. The first place we stopped a was My favorite Al Huda Islamic Center. They taught me so much. They really wanted to make me change my religion. It was that convincing. The second place we stoped at was at the Congregation of the Children of Israel. That place was so beautilful on the inside and so neat. The people in there seemed so nice and caring. And last but not least we went to a place called St. Joseph's Catholic Church. To me it looked just like the religion that i am in(Baptist). But there awas a couple of things that we do very diffrently then they(the religion) does.

The first building that we went to was small but neat. When we walked inside we had to take our shose off before we walked into the main room. When we did that he showed us into this room where it had no chairs because all the people did that worshiped there was stant up or be on there knees(which i thought was soo cool). The second place we went to was so big and pretty. It was unbelieveable. And that was just the lobby. When we went into the sanctuary there was lights all around the top of the building and there were flags on each side of the sanctuary, one was the american flag and the other was the islam flag. The third building looked just like my church. The chairs and pool-pit(if they call it that) was alike but in the corner they had mother mary(who they aak for help) and on the walls they had the last three days of Jesus' life all around the church.. All of the buildings were pretty to me.

I think what was really cool about the first on ethat we went to was that when a baby boy is first born they father picks him up, says a prayer in his rigth ear, and then says another one in hi left ear. A nd for the send place that we went to, I think it was cool that when a baby girl is born they wait a few days and then they go to churh to name her. So for those few days she has no name. I wish i was born with no name lol. And for the third one the cool thing is that they ask Mother mary everything that they need help on and they say that she really helps them.
