In Arabic and in Hebrew, Nazareth means "guardian", perhaps
referring to the town's strategic location above the Valley of Esdraelon in
Israel. Later, the allusion was made to Nazareth's role as guardian of
Christian tradition for there the Franciscan fathers nurtured and preserved
the spiritual heritage of the town.
Nazareth, the town where the child Jesus lived, is sacred to humanity
object of pilgrimage from all over the world because of its sacred sites.
The largest church in the City is the Basilica of the Annunciation,
projected by the Italian architect Giovanni Munzio in 1969. The Basilica is
erected over the grotto where, according to tradition, the Archangel Gabriel
announced to Mary that she would be mother of Christ.
Delta has acquired the rights to produce and distribute worldwide writing
instruments bearing the Nazareth 2000 official logo. The logo
reproduces the Basilica of the Annunciation, and two towers representing the
Muslim and Christian religions. Nazareth, with its landscape made of green
hills and rocky pastures dotted with olive trees, and all its precious
monuments, has served as the inspiration for this new collection of writing
instruments. The Nazareth 2000 collection symbolizes hope for better times
to come in the beginning of the new millennium.
