ISRAEL/PALESTINE. Jerusalem. At dawn Ahl-e-Kitabis pray to Jeovah while their twice daily offering of flour and oil burns on the altar stone. The name "Ahl-e-Kitaby "(People of the Book, in arabic) was given by the photographer and adopted by two American families of Christian origin who follow both the Old and the New testatment to the letter. They dress, feed and worship according to their interpretation of the Book. They live under tents in an olive grove on Mount Zion, hoping they will be called upon by Jeovah to build his Third Temple. They believe Moses' fourth Commandment "Thou shall not make any idol" includes photography.
