What the heck is a "holy city", anyway?
I mean, they're always talking abut the "holy city of Kajaf" and such in Iraq. Would South Bend, Indiana qualify as a "holy city"? I mean, they've got Notre Dame U. there.
How about 'the Holy City of Nashville, Tennessee", where they print all the Bibles in this country?
Or, "the Holy City of Salt Lake" - home of the Mormon Tabernacle?
Or, the "Holy City of New Orleans", home of the Saints?

Jerusalem is the only Holy City I've ever heard referred to. According to the Bible, it is the Holy City because the Temple of God was there. One wall still remains.

no south bend is not a holy city. i'm from there and my parents worked at notre dame university. 'it' is called a holy city because it's were jesus was born and where he walked and did miracles for people so it is considered holy and sacred.
