The Children’s Crusade >>

The Holy Lands are a magnet for pilgrims, prophets, kings, conquerors, and occasionally educated fools from the West. Some came in search of peace, while others like Saladin, Indiana Jones, Alexander, the Khans, and Richard the Lionhearted, all found Jerusalem to be irresistible (though the Mongols never fully reached it). Yet others like Roman politician Marcus Antonius (Mark Anthony) found Egypt to be a sand trap. So how does the Anointed One feel upon his disembarking? Can his charm save us in this unending saga of repentance?
