Palestinian handicraft

Jellies, soaps, little mosaics: handicraft products prepared by the women of Sebastia through the ATS Pro Terra Sancta project are now being sold in the center of the city.

The professional training of the local community, and in particular of the women of the city of Sebastia, is part of the project of ATS Pro Terra Sancta and aims to promote the importance of the site and help the inhabitants producing and selling their own products.
