About This Item

mykonos

This bag contains a rock brought back from Mykonos, Greece.  It is also protected by the Evil Eye (zipper).

The most popular form of protection against the evil eye is a charm. Coloured blue - the colour to ward off the evil eye - it is painted with an “eye” that supposedly reflects the evil. These charms are available in a variety of forms, from personal jewellery to different sized and shaped pieces to hang inside cars or on walls. Some people cement evil eye charms into their driveways. Although the Greek Orthodox Church states the only form of protection is a crucifix or a religious icon from a church or monastery, the evil eye charm is very popular and visible all over Greece and Turkey.

We picked this one up at Geocoinfest in Las Vegas last weekend. We are bringing it east to New York. We loved the education on the evil eye. We havent been to Greece, but hope to travel there someday! We will post some pics & move it along soon. Thanks for sharing!
