How Jerusalem Became a Holy City for Three Religions | Episode 6

How Jerusalem Became a Holy City for Three Religions | Episode 6 How did Jerusalem become one of the most sacred cities in the world? After the Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 AD, Jerusalem entered a new era of rebellion, religious transformation, and imperial conquest. In Episode 6 of our historical documentary series, we explore the Bar Kokhba Revolt, the Roman rebuilding of Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina, the spread of Christianity, and the rise of the Byzantine Empire. Discover how Emperor Constantine transformed the city's religious landscape, why the Church of the Holy Sepulchre became one of Christianity's most important sacred sites, and how Jerusalem changed under centuries of Byzantine rule. Finally, we examine the rise of Islam and the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in the seventh century — a turning point that would shape the city's future for generations. Through historical sources, archaeology, and cinematic reconstructions, we explore how Jerusalem's Jewish, Christian, and Islamic histories became connected across centuries.
