wonderful Hajj video this Sunday at First Parish Arlington
The month of Hajj has begun, and more than two million Muslims are converging on Mecca for a pilgrimage that has roots before the time of Muhammad. In honor of the season, we will be showing an excellent film about Hajj this Sunday evening, November 6, at 7 p.m. in the parlor at First Parish Arlington.
"Inside Mecca" follows three individuals -- an Indonesian businessman, a black South African man, and a white woman from the United States -- as they prepare for and go on Hajj. The film includes beautiful and fascinating footage of Mecca, explains the meanings of the Hajj rituals, and explores the personal experiences of three very different people. The film is about an hour, and then we'll have 20 or 30 minutes for reflections.
If you are curious about Mecca or the Hajj, and you're in the Arlington area, please join us!
