The letter “nun” (pronounced noon) in Arabic is the first letter in the word for Nazarene, which is an epithet used against Christians. It is a letter used to mark homes and businesses targeted for death and destruction. It is an extermination notice.

I have graphed this letter to use on a facecloth that can be made for charity, a gift, or just a reminder to oneself of what they face. Please consider giving some with bars of soap to those in need, or to send with a note to the refugee camps where sanitary items can be hard to find and Christians are often discriminated against or harassed until they leave.
