Origin Developed from 2007
The Abraham Path is a modern long-distance walking route of roughly 1,078 kilometers, developed since 2007 by the Abraham Path Initiative, beginning at Harran in Turkey, where Abraham is said to have heard the call to "go forth," and crossing Syria, Lebanon and Jordan before passing through Jerusalem and ending at Abraham's traditional tomb at Hebron. Unlike this heading's existing Kailash Mansarovar Parikrama, whose shared status arose from separate traditions converging on one mountain, the Abraham Path is deliberately built as cross-traditional infrastructure from the outset, framed around the patriarch common to Judaism, Christianity and Islam alike.
