"Souvenir of the Holy Land" Icons: How Did They Emerge and Develop?
This lecture with researcher Dr. Mahmoud Zibawi explores the origins of this tradition and its roots in the literary heritage of the Church, in relation to the concept of pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

It also highlights its gradual development over the centuries, culminating in the formation of a distinctive style that arose in Palestine during the late Ottoman period.
