One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.
Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story. Read on in this series….
Religious and other holidays are always celebrated with cuff links by your scribe and the past week is no exception. If you ever get the chance to experience the Easter, Ramadan or Passover celebrations in the Holy Land, do take it up. Your scribe has been lucky enough to have been in a number of Middle Eastern cities at that time and have celebrated the religious days in Mosques, Synagogues and ancient Christian churches. My favourite though has to be in the ancient Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem at Easter. It is built on the site where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified and buried and the Easter ritual there dates back millennia. Each branch of the Christian Church takes its turn to celebrate mass and is a most moving experience ever for those that may not be believers.
Church of the Holy Sepulcher
Like all great ancient sites, the place is always over-run by tourists and any number of young kids hawking souvenirs and the like. One little urchin on my last visit to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was the one and only time a street vendor has offered me cuff links. I was so taken by the young fellow and his persistence that I paid way over the odds and I am now the proud owner of his obvious home made efforts. Well done young fellow.
Today’s links are a depiction of the Madonna and Child and are housed in brass rings and worn with a cotton Savile Row shirt and a silk Moschino neck tie with Crescent Moons, Star of Davids and Cross motifs.
Wishing you all, of all persuasions, a most wonderful religious holiday whether you praise the Lord on Friday or Saturday or Sunday.
Bless you all and Pax Vobiscum.
