Divine Encounters: Memoirs of an Armenian Palestinian Painter from Jerusalem and Beyond

Autobiographies are an important part of writing history, since they give a unique, first-hand, and an eyewitness account of the past, as lived by their writers. Autobiographies give us a glimpse of rich lives lived with all their ups and downs, struggles and failures, as well as advances and setbacks. Such genre invites us to look at history, not so much through a distant bird’s eye view, but through the eyes of one person as he/she closely experienced it.

Yet, autobiographies are not usually written close in time to the events recounted, but rather are written in retrospect. Therefore, autobiographies offer a rear-view mirror of events.

In the history of Palestine, Divine Encounters span over a hundred years, namely from the Armenian Genocide in Turkey to the Israeli Genocide in Gaza. This book is a story of resilience and creativity of an Armenian Palestinian woman, who continues to experience divine encounters throughout her life journey.

For all ages, this 461-page book is filled with paintings by Lucy Janjigian, telling the story of her life.
