About This Figure

There's a moment in Gethsemane that every believer carries somewhere inside them. This sculpture captures it. Jesus kneeling, head bowed, completely still. The carver got the posture right, the weight of it, and that's not easy to do in wood.

It's about 7.8 inches across, so it's real presence on a shelf or a prayer corner. Not a trinket. If you've been looking for jesus carved in wood that actually came from the Holy Land, not a factory in some other country, this is the real thing. Hand-carved in Bethlehem, shipped directly to you.

The olive wood has this warm, honey-brown tone with grain lines running through it that make each one a little different. No two come out exactly alike. That's not a selling point, it's just how wood works, and I think it makes each piece more honest somehow.

Perfect As a Gift

A pastor in Ohio ordered one of these for a congregant going through a really hard year. He told me she keeps it on her nightstand and looks at it every morning. That stuck with me. This is a figures gift idea that lands differently than a card or a candle. It's something a person holds onto.

It works for a figures baptism gift, a figures confirmation gift, a figures easter gift, or honestly just about any moment when you want to give someone something with real weight to it. Free US shipping on orders over $100, and we ship worldwide from Bethlehem.

The Story Behind It

Most statues of jesus christ you find online are factory-made somewhere with no connection to the story they're supposed to tell. Ours are different. The families carving these have been in Bethlehem for generations, working with olive wood from the Holy Land the same way their grandparents did.

The wood itself comes from annual pruning of living trees. Nobody's cutting anything down to make these. The pruned branches would otherwise go to waste, and instead they end up as hand carved wood sculptures that carry something of where they came from.

These are wood carving sculptures for sale that come direct from the source, no importers, no retail markup in the middle. Your order goes straight back to a family workshop a few minutes from Manger Square. That matters to me, and I think it matters to the people who buy these too.

Care Instructions

Olive wood is low maintenance. If it starts looking 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 about it.
