About This Holy Family Statue

There's something about holding this piece that quiets you down a little. Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus, all three together, carved from a single piece of olive wood from Bethlehem. Nine centimeters tall, so it fits on a windowsill, a nightstand, a desk corner. Small enough that you don't really notice it's there until you do, and then you can't stop looking at it.

The grain runs through all three figures like they grew out of the same earth. Which, in a way, they did. If you're looking for a holy family gift that actually comes from the place the story happened, this is it. Not a factory in China. A workshop in Bethlehem, run by a family who's been doing this for generations.

Perfect As a Gift

A woman wrote to us last December, said she'd been searching for a holy family christmas gift that wasn't mass-produced plastic. She ordered two of these, one for her daughter's first home, one for her own mantle. That's the kind of order I remember. If you're shopping for a holy family baptism gift, a holy family wedding gift for a newly married couple, or something meaningful for a confirmation, this lands right.

Free US shipping on orders over $100, and we ship worldwide. Order from our holy family shop direct, no middlemen between you and Bethlehem.

The Story Behind It

Most holy family statues you find online are factory-made, turned out by the thousands with no particular hands behind them. These are different. The family who carves them learned from their parents, who learned from theirs. Same neighborhood, same tools, same patience.

The olive wood itself comes from annual pruning of living trees. Nobody cuts a tree down for this. That matters to me, and it matters to them. When you buy one of these, you're helping a family in Bethlehem keep doing what they've done for three generations, at least that's how I think about it.

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'll come right back. Don't soak it in water. That's really all there's to it.
