Bethlehem Crafts

Listed in DataCite

This collection consists of digitised photographs held at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. The images are depictions of craft industries in Bethlehem.

Description

For centuries the town has been famous for its devotional objects, carved mainly from mother-of-pearl and olive wood, and produced for sale to visiting pilgrims and tourists. The industry provided the basis for Bethlehem's emigration explosion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when thousands of merchants from the town travelled all over the world selling Bethlehem religious crafts.

Today there are Bethlehem-origin communities scattered around the world as a result of those migrations. Bethlehem is also famous for its embroidery (tatriz in Arabic), particularly in the production of bridal dresses. This collection is part of the Library of Congress project within the Planet Bethlehem Archive (click on the Related Project link below to explore the wider project).
