In Arabic and in Hebrew, Nazareth means “ guardian”, perhaps referring to the town’s strategic location above the Valley of Esdraelon in Israel. Later, the allusion was made to Nazareth’s role as guardian of Christian tradition for there the Franciscan fathers nurtured and preserved the spiritual heritage of the town.
Nazareth, the town where the child Jesus lived, is sacred to humanity, object of pilgrimage from all over the world because of its sacred sites. The largest church in the city is the Basilica of the Annunciation, projected by the Italian architect Giovanni Munzio in 1969. The Basilica is erected over the grotto where, according to tradition, the Archangel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would be mother of Christ.
Nazareth, with its landscape made of green hills and rocky pastures dotted with olive trees, and all its precious monuments, has served as the inspiration for this new collection of writing instruments. The Nazareth 2000 collection symbolizes hope for better times to come in the beginning of the new millennium. This pen is part of the collection limited to 2000 pieces worldwide.
