🏆 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.

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 $50 USD. No code needed, it is applied automatically at checkout. For orders under $50, 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.
