There were as many Muslims visiting the sanctuary at Harissa as Christians. This (admittedly indistinct) picture sums it up for me: a group of fully veiled women from the Gulf, with their husbands, enjoying the main courtyard of the sanctuary. We were surprised to see conservative Muslims at a Christian holy place, so one of my classmates asked one of the Saudis about it. He replied that as Harissa is a holy place to Christians, it is likewise a holy place to them.
