The One I Always Mention

When pastors or RCIA leaders write asking what size set fits a small group, this is the one I point them to first. Two cups for couples or paired communion, four cups for a family or a tight prayer circle, the same matching bread tray either way. It is the size that gets the most repeat orders out of every set we make.

The Story of This Piece

The cups are turned in matched pairs from a single olive wood blank so the grain runs continuous across the set, and the bread tray is hollowed from a separate piece, all sanded to a soft finish without any varnish. We added the 4-cup option in 2026 after small Catholic and Anglican home groups asked for one tray that could serve a tight circle of communicants without ordering the larger 6-cup set.

How It Is Used and Who It Is For

Used by couples preparing for confirmation, by small Bible study groups doing shared communion, by Catholic households on home retreat days, by Anglican and Methodist house churches, and given as a paired ordination, baptism, or first communion gift when a single cup feels too small but a 6-cup set feels too large.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 2-cup and 4-cup options?
The 2-cup set has 2 turned cups and 1 bread tray for 20 USD, the 4-cup set has 4 turned cups and 1 bread tray for 28 USD. Cup dimensions are identical (7.1 cm tall), only the count of cups changes.

Can the cups be used for Catholic communion?
Many Catholic homes use olive wood cups for RCIA practice, sick-call kits, and family devotional services. For sacramental Mass on a parish altar most dioceses require a metal chalice and paten that meet liturgical norms, confirm with your priest for parish use.

Are the cups food safe and how do I clean them?
Yes, the cups and tray are finished with sanding only, no stain or varnish. Hand wash with warm water and mild soap, towel dry, never the dishwasher. Olive wood is naturally antibacterial and safe for short contact with wine and bread.

Will the wood crack or warp over time?
Olive wood is naturally dense and stable. Hand wash, dry promptly, and rub with food-grade mineral oil or beeswax once or twice a year and the set should last decades without splitting or warping.

How fast does shipping arrive from Bethlehem?
Most US orders arrive in 7 to 12 business days, Canada and UK in 8 to 14, free shipping on orders over 100 USD. The set ships in a small padded box, both pack sizes weigh under 300 g.
