    This tatreez-inspired print symbolizing a mill wheel pays homage to Palestinian women, who have played an integral role in resisting the Israeli occupation. Tatreez — a centuries old artful embroidery technique with radical roots — is just one of the many tools they have utilized.

    This is a limited edition blockprint (one of 50)

    Each piece is hand printed onto archival paper (Rives BFK 280g cream 100% cotton), and will be signed and numbered.

    Due to the nature of hand printing, each piece has slight variations from each other and may vary slightly from the image pictured.

lyrics

When we came
We came through the cold
We came bearing gifts of gold
And frankincense and myrrh
And there were trumpets playing
There were angels looking down
On a west bank town
And he so loved the world

[Chorus]
Wore we then our warmest capes
Wore we then our walking shoes
Open wide the city gates
And let us through

[Verse 2]
A child is born
Born in Bethlehem
Born in a cattle pen
A child is born on the killing floor
And still he no crying makes
Still as the air is he
Lying so prayerfully there
Waiting for the war

[Verse 3]
Welcome home, my child
Your home is a checkpoint now
Your home is a border town
Welcome to the brawl
And life ain't fair, my child
Put your hands in the air, my child
Slowly now, single file, now
Up against the wall

[Chorus]
Wear we now our warmest coats
Wear we now our walking shoes
Open wide the gates of hope
And let us through

[Verse 4]
When we came
We came through the cold
We came bearing gifts of gold
And frankincense and myrrh
And there were shepherds praying
There were lions laying down
With the lambs in a west bank town
And he so loved the world
