Experiencing Interruptions?

HAJJI

Music-Live Performance by Medusa (Recorded in Mazkeka, Jerusalem, Nov 7, 2019 00:52:24)

The appropriation of the title Hajji / Хаджи / الحجّي by Ottoman Christians highlights the complex intertwining of cultural practices and identities within Europe. It demonstrates how even religious practices like pilgrimage can transcend their original context, revealing unexpected parallels between Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions.
