AWARE SHORT LECTURE AND DOCUMENTARY

On Tuesday 30, September, 2014

 Hajj is an international pilgrimage to Mecca that attracts up to three million Muslims annually.
The speaker will discuss its historical significance, describe the major rites that comprise the pilgrimage, and share some of the sentiments that Muslims experience in this trip of a lifetime.
This 30-minute PowerPoint presentation will be followed by National Geographic's 45-minute documentary film entitled, "Inside Mecca" which presents an intimate look at the annual pilgrimage by following three pilgrims from very different backgrounds as they embark on a spiritual journey that is both deeply personal and widely universal.
