Commemorative scroll kept by Eileen. Peace and freedom have prevailed in these islands mostly since then,.
Scroll of Fire is a monument found in the Jerusalem hills, and it commemorates Jewish history from The Holocaust until Independence. The monument was inaugurated in 1971.
The initiative for the monument came from B'nai B'rith of the United States, and was funded by them. The monument was sculptured by the artist Nathan Rapoport, who is a Holocaust survivor.
One of the scrolls describes the Holocaust and the other describes independence. In the space between the two scrolls, there are two rooms of memorial, and in each one is engraved a quote from the bible.
The beautiful scroll I received with my award. Illumination by Lady Ismay Ponde with words by Count Jehan.
Today the Jodo Mission of Hawaii saw the return of its hand-painted Japanese hanging scroll. At least 60 years old and the second largest such artifact in Hawaii, it was fully restored by skilled Japanese artisans under the direction of Japan Memorial Corporation's Tatsuji Maeda, who presented the restoration work to the Jodo Mission board this morning. This prized artwork will be carefully stored and only displayed in the temple maybe twice a year. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows more about these scrolls, it was certainly an education for us (and a substantial investment).

Let the ground shake and the mountains tremble at the words of His Majesty Logan Ebonwolf, inspired by the wisest under the Eternal Blue Sky, Rowan Berran McDowell, Queen. All those who dwell in felt tents and foreign strangers pay heed that we wish to recognize Chagan Khulan for her loyalty and service. She brings much honor to her Khan and our Crown with her profound knowledge of Mongol culture, customs, and art which she freely spreads to people throughout many Lands.
To this end, with much rejoicing, We do induct her into the Order of the Pelican.

The question was posed: What is your favorite handmade gift you have received? There are a couple. The first is already packed -- it's a hand-drawn birthday card presented to me during a trip through the UK. And this is another. A handwritten scroll given to me after a successful battle against cancer. It reads:
If God would choose a plant to represent him, I think he would choose of all plants the cactus. The cactus has all the blessings he tried, but mostly failed, to give to man. Let me tell you how. It has humility, but it is not submissive. It grows where no other plant will grow. It does not complain when the sun bakes it back or the wing tears it from the cliff or drowns it in the dry sand of the desert or when it is thirsty. When the rain comes it stores water for the hard times to come. In good times and in bad it will still flower. It protects itself against danger, but it harms no other plant. It adapts perfectly to almost any environment. It has patience and enjoys solitude. In Mexico there is a cactus that flowers only once every hundred years and at night. This is saintliness of an extraordinary kind, would you not agree? The cactus has properties that heal the wounds of men and from it come potions that can make man touch the face of God or stare into the mouth of hell. It is the plant of patience and solitude, love and madness, ugliness and beauty, toughness and gentleness. Of all plants, surely God made the cactus in his own image?
