About This Cross

Hold this cross made from olive wood and you notice it right away. The weight, the grain, the way the figure of Jesus sits carved into the center with actual care. It's not stamped out of a mold somewhere. Someone's hands shaped this, in Bethlehem, from wood that came off olive trees in Bethlehem that have been growing here longer than anyone can say.

At 6.1 x 4.3 inches it's a real presence on a wall or a shelf. Not too big, not small enough to get lost. People buy this as a wooden cross for sale online and then tell me later it looks nothing like what they expected, in a good way. The grain does something different on every single piece.

If you've been looking at crosses order online and wondering what separates one from another, this is the answer. It comes from here. From families who've been doing this work since before I was born.

Perfect As a Gift

A pastor in Texas ordered eight of these last Easter, one for each family in his congregation that had lost someone that year. He told me they went up on walls within the week. That's the kind of thing that sticks with you. A crosses gift idea like this travels well across occasions because it means something specific, it came from Bethlehem, and people can feel the difference.

Free US shipping on orders over $100 makes it easy to order a few at once. We ship worldwide, and churches order from us regularly for exactly this kind of gifting.

The Story Behind It

The olive trees in Bethlehem don't get cut down to make these. That's something people ask me about. The wood comes from annual pruning, branches that would otherwise just be trimmed away. So the trees stay alive, the families have material to work with, and the whole thing keeps going.

Most crosses you find online are factory-made in bulk somewhere far from the Holy Land. Ours are shaped by the same Christian artisan families in Bethlehem who've been doing this for three generations. The carver who handles the Christ crosses in this style learned from his father, who learned from his. I've been to the workshop. It's a real place, real people, real wood from real olive trees in Bethlehem.

That's the whole point of the factory-direct model. No importers, no markups, no story that gets watered down by the supply chain. You're ordering from us and it ships from here.

Care Instructions

Olive wood's low maintenance. If it starts looking a little dry, rub a small drop of olive oil into it with a cloth and it comes right back. Don't soak it in water. That's about it.
