In the New Testament of the Bible, there is a reference to "The Beautiful Gate," a place leading to the temple where the apostles Peter and John encountered a lame beggar. Unable to walk, he asked the apostles for money. Instead, Peter commanded the beggar to look at them, and the beggar was cured. He jumped up and followed them into the temple. (For the record, he was still short on cash). The exact location of the gate is disputed among scholars: some say it was the lower outer gate of Jerusalem's city walls, others say it was closer to the Temple itself. Either way, it was a hopping place until the Romans destroyed it in 70 A.D.. In honor of the place where a bankrupt beggar with mobility issues was cured, Gongs Unlimited offers the Beautiful Gate Gong Stand. Available in two sizes to hold gongs of 18" or 22", this stand, like its namesake, is both attractive and functional. Handcrafted from solid oak, this stand is easily assembled to hold a variety of medium and large sized gongs, and will fit with almost any décor. We can't guarantee that putting the lame in front of this stand will make them walk, but there is great healing from the beauty of this stand and the sound of the gong.
