The wood comes from olive groves in Beit Sahour, on the eastern edge of Bethlehem, pruned in late 2025 and air dried for 14 months before our carvers began the heart blanks. Each plaque is finished with a single rub of food-safe olive oil so the grain stays alive in the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople give this as a housewarming for a young Catholic family, as a wedding gift to a couple starting a household, and as a baptism or first communion keepsake the child grows up seeing on the wall.
