UA forward Keshad Johnson: “A lot of the stuff you learn growing up is all about faith, but once we’re actually here in the presence of all these places, it's more facts.”
Bruce Pascoe JERUSALEM – Never before venturing outside of the United States to explore other cultures, Arizona forward Keshad Johnson is making up for it now.On Saturday alone, while the Wildcats toured Jerusalem’s Old City, Johnson was exposed to the history of Christians, Muslims, Jews and other religions, of people from centuries and centuries ago who built and tore down and reconstructed churches, monuments, mosques and other buildings, all on the same sites.
Even as temperatures soared into the 90s outside Saturday, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was mobbed, with pilgrims lining up at each holy spot to pray. “Seeing where Jesus was born, where he was crucified, it’s just crazy,” Johnson said. “It’s something that brings all cultures and races together.”
“That’s just the result of how many people, how many different nations, have been in power here, like the Romans, and so on. Everything has been switching up constantly throughout the years.”
