The History and Symbolism of Balian Tile Murals

The Mosaic of Jerusalem is a famous design from 1895, found in the Musrara quarter near the Damascus Gate. This grand mosaic was originally part of a funerary chapel and is filled with Christian motifs that symbolize life after death. Some key elements include:

The Chagall Peacocks: Vibrant peacock imagery, a tribute to Marc Chagall.

The Palm Tree: A peaceful, serene design with a calming presence.

The Cypress Tree: A symbol of strength, resilience, and timeless beauty.

  • Vine scrolls representing life after death.
  • A bird in the cage, symbolizing Christ within the human body.
  • Peacocks drinking from an amphora, another symbol of resurrection.
