Merry Christmas from Saint Rita of Cascia


I chanced upon this Christmas poster on the area of School of Saint Michael at Tel Aviv. Clearly noticeable is the presence of the three religions in the poster; Christianity, Judaism and Islam. I have no sure idea about the messages given by the Jewish and Moslem pictures, albeit perhaps they are Christmas greetings, like what is clearly indicated on the Christian drawing (which says "Merry Christmas").


Here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hello,

The Moslem picture and text is celebrating Eid ul-Adha and the Jewish Menorah is there because of the Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday.

Christmas, Eid ul-Adba and Hanukkah are in December, that is why they are in this wall together.
