STORYLINE:
Traditional metal and glass lanterns are always among the items in high demand ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. In Jerusalem's Old City, throngs of people visited shops to buy lanterns as ornaments for homes and workplaces during Ramadan.
These traditional colorful lanterns, known as fanoos in Arabic, originated in Egypt centuries ago. They were originally used to light dark streets but later became children's toys for outdoor playing on Ramadan evenings.
