Like all the Arab, Lebanese people are also very superstitious. Although religion often is against it, some traditions never die. My grandmother Turkish Greek Orthodox, already said put this protection( accessory of blue eye) on your clothing, against evil eye. Here in Lebanon many stores sell this type of blue eye, which is "supposed" to protect the evil eye. Not only clothes, but accessories such as pendants, bracelets and earrings are used.
Even in cars and houses many ornaments of protection are seen in both houses Christians and Muslims. Knock on wood is also a custom, in order to not be hit by envy.
Many Lebanese Christians and Muslims are very mystical and believe in witchcraft and in people who read the future in a cup of coffee, or hands.
Their religion condemns such acts, however it seems that sometimes people give more attention to tradition than to Religion, or mix it.
