The village of Artas, near Bethlehem, may be known for any one of three reasons: its location next to Solomon's Pools, as the object of Hilma Granqvist's ethnographic inquiry into Palestinian village life, or, more recently, as the site of the annual Lettuce Festival organized by the Artas Folkore Center since the mid-1990s.What is less known is that Artas also was the first Palestinian village to become the home of millenarist European and American settlers in the nineteenth century.Millenarism as the belief in the Second Coming of Christ and his thousand-year reign on earth is an ideology that has played an important role in shaping European and North American views of the Middle East.It continues to do so to this day, particularly in the United States, but also in some evangelical milieus in Europe. 1 In the nineteenth century, European and North American millenarists founded several settlements in Palestine that constitute an important element in the entangled history of the Middle East, Artas village and the convent of Hortus conclusus, ca.1940, Watson collection, Library of Congress
