Todays Soap Of The day is a Hamsa... or Chamsa, hand made from start to finish, and here to bring good luck! And as many believe, to ward against the evil eye :) The name “hamsa” comes from the Hebrew word “hamesh,” which means five. “Hamsa” refers to the fact that there are five fingers on the talisman, though some also believe it represents the five books of the Torah. Sometimes it is called the Hand of Miriam, after Moses’ sister. In Islam, the hamsa is called the Hand of Fatima, in honor of one of the daughters of the Prophet Mohammed. Some say that in Islamic tradition the five fingers represent the Five Pillars of Islam. Regardless of our personal beliefs, and what the Hamsa means to you, I think we can all agree, Hamsas are beautiful and bring a feeling of peace and security! Have a great day!
