Thanks for your willingness to make a comment. Note: I do not moderate comments before they are posted, though they are automatically screened for profanities, spam, etc., and sometimes the screening program holds comments for moderation even though they're not offensive. I encourage open dialogue and serious disagreement, and am always willing to learn from my mistakes. I will not delete comments unless they are extraordinarily rude or irrelevant to the topic at hand. You do need to login in order to make a comment, because this cuts down on spam. You are free to use a nickname if you wish. Finally, I will eventually read all comments, but I don't have the time to respond to them on a consistent basis because I've got a few other demands on my time, like my "day job," my family, sleep, etc.

What a wonderful Advent calendar.
Just one quibble — on No. 2, the caption says this is a shepherd in southern Israel. Actually, an Arab shepherdess — note the embroidered dress, and the traditional need for a woman to cover her face, which men don’t need to do.
Alas, you don’t see these embroidered dresses much anymore — no one has time to make them. The design on this one is a fairly modern flower design; it used to be that you could tell what region the dress came from by the traditional embroidery themes, including specifically Christian patterns from towns like Ramallah or Bethlehem.
Best wishes for a holy, happy, Advent season.
