• The Story of the Magic Lantern Jan 16, 2025

  

  In the ancient city of Cairo, where the mighty Nile flows like a ribbon of silver through the heart of Egypt, there lived a humble lamp-maker named Farid. His small workshop sat in the shadow of the great pyramids, and though he was poor in material wealth, he was rich in skill and contentment.

  Farid crafted the most beautiful lanterns in all of Cairo. His lamps were sought after by merchants, nobles, and even visiting princes, for each one was a work of art – intricately carved, perfectly balanced, and designed to cast the most pleasing light. Yet despite his reputation, Farid remained humble and kind, often giving his finest work to those who could not afford to pay.
