Xmas Is Palestine WORKSHOPS 21+22 December

Xmas is Palestine

Welcome to a unique Xmas Market. (Free entry)

Heritage from Palestine. With the purpose of support for Gaza with love. We present design, cuisine and masterclasses, and a pop-up museum.

Scroll below for the workshops and masterclasses.

From the land where the first olive oil was pressed, the land that produced the first wine with its famous Vinum Gazetum, and the Phonecian Canaanite glass and pottery. Palestine with one of the healthiest and tastiest cuisines. And…the land where the story of Xmas originated, producing paintings, music, stories and traditions.
Welcome to Xmas Is Palestine. For ethical, delicious, beautiful and unique Xmas presents and connectivity.
