Video summary
Churches, mosques, synagogues and temples; each religion comes alive in its places of worship, but some religious buildings are literally the centre of their own faith.
This light-hearted animation takes students on a journey to the holiest places of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, explaining their history and significance in the process.
This is from the series: A-Z of Religion and Beliefs
