TheBanyanTree: The Equatorial Moon

[Jena Norton]

I love how the 3 religions recycle each other's places of worship in Spain,
the Middle East, and N. Africa. It says something, but I'm not sure what.

No cardinals here, only imams and muezzins.  We have passed Jewish and 
Christian cemeteries in the past 24 hours, and there is an active Jewish 
population, believed to have been here for some 24 centuries.  We saw a 
Christian church in Casablanca.

Both Jews and Muslims use lunar calendars: you do the mathematics!
