🏆 Govt Award Exporter of the Year 2017

Founded in Beit Sahour · Bethlehem, Holy Land

19 Years. 20+ Families.
One Piece of the Holy Land.

Zuluf is a Christian family-run olive wood workshop in Beit Sahour, Bethlehem, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. For 19 years we have supplied churches, pilgrims, and Christian families worldwide with handmade crosses, nativities, and sacred gifts carved by hand in the Holy Land. The Local Government named us Exporter of the Year in 2017. Our customers keep coming back because they know exactly where their gift was made and who made it.

Every olive wood cross, nativity set, and Holy Land gift ships directly from our Bethlehem workshop. Beit Sahour is the City of the Shepherds, where the story of Boaz and Ruth was written, where King David tended his father's flock. This is not a warehouse. It is a living workshop in the birthplace of Christianity.

Why It Matters

Every Piece You Buy Feeds a Real Family in Bethlehem

Beit Sahour sits just outside Bethlehem, in the same fields where shepherds heard the first Christmas news. Our workshops stand there today. Twenty-plus artisan families pass their craft from father to son, using the same hand tools their grandfathers used. When olive branches are pruned each spring, we collect them. Nothing is cut down. Each carving begins with wood that was already removed from a living tree. That is the only olive wood we use.

Olive wood rosaries and star of Bethlehem ornament

Purchased two olive wood rosaries and two star of Bethlehem ornaments. All products were high quality and arrived in about a month. I was worried they wouldn't show up in time for my daughters' confirmation but they came on the day of which I thought was really beautiful. Would definitely buy again, love supporting Palestinian businesses.

Speechless on the handmade olive wood St.Michael statue, beautiful and flawless. Zuluf is amazing and very anointed by God. I've been doing business with Elias for 10 years when I got my first bottle of Lion of Judah anointing oil that changed my life. Shalom

Frequently Asked Questions About Olive Wood Gifts

Answers to what customers ask most before ordering from Bethlehem

  • Every piece is handmade in our factory in Beit Sahour, Bethlehem — in the Holy Land of Israel. We have been at the same location since 2007. Your order is packed by hand and shipped factory direct from our workshop, with no importers or middlemen involved.

  • We only carve wood from pruned olive branches collected during the annual harvest. No olive trees are cut down for our products. The olive tree is sacred in the Holy Land and we treat it as such. Every item you receive is made from wood that was already separated from a living tree.

  • Most US and UK orders arrive in 7 to 14 business days. Australia and Canada typically take 10 to 18 business days. We ship from Bethlehem via registered international post with full tracking. Customs delays are rare but can occasionally add a few extra days.

  • Yes — free international shipping on all orders over $100 USD. No code needed, it is applied automatically at checkout. For orders under $100, a flat shipping rate applies based on your region.

  • Yes. Zuluf is a Palestinian Christian family business founded by Elias Zuluf. Every product is carved, sanded and finished by hand by artisan families who have practiced this craft for generations. We were recognized as Exporter of the Year 2017. Over 970 verified customer reviews reflect that experience.

  • Olive wood is naturally durable and ages beautifully. To maintain its warm grain, occasionally rub a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil or olive oil into the surface. Avoid soaking in water or placing near direct heat. With minimal care, your olive wood piece will last for generations and develop a richer patina over time.

  • Most orders to the US, UK, Canada and Australia arrive without customs charges. However, import duties are set by your local customs authority and are the buyer’s responsibility. We mark all packages accurately as handmade religious gifts from Bethlehem, which often qualifies for reduced or zero duty.

  • Yes. Churches, religious retailers, and gift shops can order wholesale olive wood products directly from our Bethlehem factory at bulk pricing. We supply nativity sets, crosses, rosaries, and Holy Land souvenirs in volume. Contact us for wholesale catalogs and minimum order details.

Authentic Olive Wood Gifts from Bethlehem & the Holy Land

Since 2007, Zuluf has connected faith-filled families around the world with genuine olive wood gifts carved in Beit Sahour — the City of the Shepherds, just outside Bethlehem, in the heart of the Holy Land of Israel. Every piece that leaves our workshop is shaped by hand by Christian and Catholic artisans whose families have practiced this craft for generations. From olive wood religious souvenirs to heirloom nativity sets, each piece carries the spirit of Bethlehem.

Why Buy Direct from a Bethlehem Olive Wood Factory?

Most Holy Land gifts sold online pass through multiple middlemen before they reach you. At Zuluf, we cut that chain entirely. You order factory direct from our workshop in Beit Sahour, Bethlehem, which means you get the real thing at a fair price — and your purchase goes straight back into sustaining 20+ Christian artisan families in the Holy Land.

Our Most Popular Olive Wood Collections

Our best-selling pieces include hand-carved Nativity sets from Bethlehem perfect for Christmas, olive wood crosses and crucifixes ideal for baptism and confirmation gifts, and Holy Land rosaries blessed and shipped direct from the birthplace of Christianity. We also carry Holy Family figurines, Virgin Mary statues, Christmas ornaments, Jerusalem anointing oils, and olive wood prayer beads.

Shipped from Bethlehem to Your Door

Every order is packed by hand in our Beit Sahour workshop and shipped worldwide. Free shipping on orders over $100 to the US, Canada, and UK.
