Holy Land

Also known as the Levant, Biblical Israel, Judea – where our biblical pieces come from – and Canaan, the term Holy Land refers to sacred religious sites of the Levant from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Jordan River including Shiloh, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth and historical Canaan. In antiquity the Levant included Judea, Phoenicia and Assyria and other areas. In current geographical term it refers to the Eastern Mediterranean region of Western Asia which generally corresponds to modern day Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Turkey. The term Levant was first used in 1497 from the French word Levant and meant “the East” referring to the sun rising in the east. Some of our items are from the Judean Biblical Period in Israel are from 934-586BCE.
