Psalm 84:3

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young—a place near your altar, O Lord Almighty…

What is “home”? For many peoples of the earth, this is central to their identity. Home identifies what family and nation you belong to. For Muslim people like the Dargins, the land is identified with the Islamic religion. By contrast, the Psalmist identifies “home” as the place near the altar of God!
