History: The Hamsa Hand has a long and storied history that spans cultures and continents. Its exact origins are unclear, as it predates both the Islamic and Jewish faiths, but it is believed to have originated in the ancient Middle East. Some scholars attribute its creation to the Phoenicians, who revered the hand as a symbol of the goddess Tanit. Others believe it may have originated in ancient Egypt as a symbol of the Eye of Horus, which represented protection, royal power, and good health.

Over time, the Hamsa Hand has been adopted and adapted by various cultures and religions, each imbuing it with their own unique meanings and significance. In Islamic tradition, the Hamsa Hand is known as the Hand of Fatima, named after the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, and is believed to protect against the evil eye. In Jewish tradition, the Hamsa Hand is called the Hand of Miriam, after the sister of Moses and Aaron, and is thought to bring blessings and protection.

The Hamsa Hand has also found its way into Christian symbolism, where it is sometimes referred to as the Hand of Mary. In this context, the Hamsa Hand is seen as a symbol of divine protection and blessings from the Virgin Mary. With its rich and varied history, the Hamsa Hand stands as a testament to the universality of human desire for protection, blessings, and good fortune.
