Christmas in Jerusalem and Bethlehem is a magical time, tempered only by the crowds of tourists and pilgrims and the formidable Israeli checkpoints between the two cities. 

Products in this collection are made by local craftsmen and women, and by Palestinian and Israeli musicians who perform at concerts and events during the yuletide season. Harpist Sunita Staneslow has played at the Children's hospital in Bethlehem and at the Lutheran church near Nativity Square. 

These items made wonderful gifts and stocking stuffers for the holiday season.
