Description

Rachel's TombRachel's Tomb (or in Hebrew: קבר רחל‎, pronounced "Kever Rakhel"), is an ancient structure believed to be the burial place of the biblical matriarch Rachel. The tomb is located near Bethlehem in the West Bank.Religious SignificanceThe tomb is considered a Jewish holy site. It is also viewed as the symbol of the return of the Jewish people to its ancient homeland, and for generations, Jews living outside Israel have hung a picture of the structure in their homes. The shrine has been increasingly associated with fertility and many women go to pray there for a successful childbirth. Many a prayerbook geared towards women would feature a photo of the site on its cover or title page.Needlepoint by Pepita Pepita Needlepoint printed needlepoint canvas is fun for every level of stitcher, from beginner through advanced. No need to follow complicated charts - the design is printed in full color, right on the canvas. The 100% cotton canvas is durable, easy on the hands, and stitches up quickly at 13 threads per inch. Many canvases come with full-color charts and intructions at no additional cost.Thread Not Included This product includes the canvas only. Thread is not included. Please purchase separately. I recommend DMC Pearl Cotton #3. You will also get excellent results with tapestry wool or embroidery floss.
