This Trumpet Glass Angel Ornament is a meaningful piece handcrafted from recycled glass fragments gathered in Bethlehem.
Carefully collected and shaped by artisans from Bethlehem, each ornament transforms broken glass into a beautiful symbol of hope.
The fragments represent the brokenness of the world, while the angel reflects renewal, faith, and the message of the Incarnation that what is broken can be made whole again.
A powerful and symbolic decoration, perfect for Christmas or as a thoughtful gift carrying a message of peace, dignity, and hope.
Fragments of broken bottles thrown away or glass destroyed during the Israeli invasion of Bethlehem.
Human hands pick them from among the rubble then assemble them together by some of the poorest of the poor in the Bethlehem region at the ICB art workshops.
These art pieces tell all about “the hopes and fears of all the years”
That people have in Bethlehem today.
The broken glass pieces are a sign of the brokenness of our world, and it is also the reason for God to incarnate.
Through his incarnation he brought the divine and the human back together, he picked what seems to be worthless and hopeless and transformed it into a beautiful and whole creation.
It is this incarnation, which took place here in Bethlehem two thousand years ago, which gives us the strength to continue to look for broken lives and hopes and to transform them through art into angels and different art pieces, messengers of justice, peace, and dignity.
