Carving Mother of Pearl has been a tradition in Bethlehem ever since the art was brought to the city by Damascus friars. These friars taught those in the Holy Land to carve this material into a crucifix, rosary and important biblical scenes. Mother of pearl is a material that is made from the iridescent layers of the lining of a shell, such as pearl oysters and mollusks. They have become a primary source of jewelry materials for those in the Holy Land due to their rich history that evolved from a simple cultural activity into something of an art form along with carving olive wood.
