Christians call it the hand of Mary. Jews call it the hand of Miriam. Muslims call it the hand of Fatima. More ancient than any religion, the Hamsa is a symbol of protection and defense against the evil eye in many cultures. In a time when we define ourselves in our separateness, this symbol is a reminder that maybe we aren’t so different after all.
