Hamsa

The hamsa is a symbol that is often used in Middle Eastern and North African cultures. It looks like a hand with the fingers spread out, and sometimes has an eye in the middle of the palm.

People believe that the hamsa brings good luck, protects against evil, and helps them feel safe. Like holding someone's hand if they are scared.

The hamsa is also sometimes called the Hand of Fatima or the Hand of Miriam, after important women in Muslim and Jewish traditions.

Many people wear jewelry or have decorations with the hamsa on them, to remind them to be thankful for good things and to ward off anything bad.
