Abstract
"The memory of the Aqedah lies close to the heart of three religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is reflected in the liturgy of the Jews at Rosh-Ha-Shanah, of the Christians at the mass (Catholic) or holy communion (Orthodox and Protestant), and of the Muslims at the great sacrificial feast 'id al-A& ( 'id-aZ-Kabir). The same sacred story is remembered in these three traditions as an important element of their religious identity, yet the commemoration takes place at different times and represents variant meanings. In a sense, the Aqedah can be looked upon as standing at the crossroad of these three traditions as one significant sign of their common origin and also of their theological divergence"
