“It’s the hand of Fatima –the Arab boy said-
Fatima was the prophet’s daughter,
her hand is a protection, a lucky charm”.


“It’s the hand of Miriam,
Moses’ sister – explained the Jewish boy-
It’s a lucky charm, which protect from evil”.

Wherever it’s reproduced, the symbol, the small hand,
Has exactly the same shape.
Only one hand, with five fingers...
The five pillars of Islam, the five People of the Cloak, the five books of the Torah.
The little hand looks exactly the same, always the same.

This photo is part of a thematic gallery
