PLACE REPRESENTED:   Israel

ITEM: Candle

NOTES: I doubt this blog will create an international incident but it would be good if you could enter Jerusalem in as a “state” unto itself even though it is the capital of Israel,  and, err, Palestine. It depends on who you ask but some will say that Israel is the owner of Jerusalem, others will say Palestine while some will say that one country owns a part and the other owns the rest. Before 1948 it was all Palestine. But, Palestine was never a country. The historical Jerusalem had been part of the region of Palestine until 1967 when Israel annexed it. Though, historically the Jewish people have lived their thousands of years before the Arabs of Palestine.  Yes, a difficult one. But it is Israel now, so …

This quite a nifty little candle in a ceramic holder. It may have some sort of a religions significance I do not know but the representation of Jerusalem around the base is nicely detailed.
