Handcrafted Olive Wood Crucifix from Bethlehem – Holy Land Tabletop Cross

The Olive Wood Crucifix from Bethlehem is a timeless expression of Christian devotion, handcrafted from genuine Holy Land olive wood. Each cross reflects centuries of spiritual artistry, symbolizing faith, sacrifice, and the enduring peace of Christ.

Every olive wood crucifix is sculpted by Christian artisans in Bethlehem whose families have passed down this sacred tradition since the 4th century. The olive wood, gathered only from sustainably pruned trees in the hills of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, reveals a rich golden-brown grain that ensures no two crucifixes are ever identical.

A finely detailed silver corpus of Jesus is mounted on the polished wooden cross, blending noble metal with the warmth of living wood. The multi-level base allows elegant tabletop display, whether on a prayer altar, desk, or church shelf. The crucifix radiates spiritual presence and connects believers to the sacred legacy of the Holy Land.

Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its origin and guaranteeing genuine Bethlehem craftsmanship. This document adds historical and collectible value, making the crucifix ideal for gifts, religious ceremonies, or family heirlooms.
