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.

Zuluf Factory, Beit Sahour — Bethlehem, Holy LandI absolutely love Zuluf! Beautiful and meaningful work, every piece I’ve ordered is beautiful and the people at Zuluf are amazing and kind!
I Love your store and all the products that you have to purchase Your family and store is such a wonderful Blessing.
These comfort crosses are so well made.Nice and smooth, they fit very comfortably in your palm. As the cross warms in your palm it feels as if someone is holding your hand. In any kind of trial I like to hold my comfort cross and imagine Jesus himself sitting beside me holding my hand. It gives me incredible comfort and peace and a reminder that I am never alone.
Thank you, Jane, for sharing what your comfort cross means to you. We're grateful that its smooth shape brings you comfort during difficult moments and serves as a reminder of your faith. God bless you.
I love the crosses and where they are made ! Everything is well made and special. I love giving them away!!

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. Our workshop is the source of our handmade products. Orders ship from Bethlehem or, for eligible US retail orders, from US stock.
-
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.
-
Eligible US retail orders may ship from US stock when every selected item and quantity is available there. All mixed orders ship together from Bethlehem. Other orders ship from Bethlehem. Estimated standard delivery after dispatch is 2-7 business days from US stock or 2-8 weeks from Bethlehem. Product origin and dispatch location are distinct.

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.
-
