Among the belongings Asma Isyed, 68, brought from her West Bank village of Zababdeh in October were a small Bible and a booklet of prayers by St. Mariam Baouardy, a Palestinian saint. Isyed took the keepsakes with her when she traveled to Jerusalem to accompany her sister, Ibtisam Khoury, during her recovery from a liver transplant at Hadassah University Hospital.
