About This Catholic Crucifix

There's a stone set into this one. That's the first thing people notice when they pick it up, a real piece of Holy Land ground pressed into Bethlehem olive wood. Two materials that have meant something to Christians for a very long time, both in your hand at once.

At 12cm, it's not large. About 4.7 inches. But it hangs well on a wall, sits right on a nightstand, and fits in a jacket pocket without any trouble. I've handed these to people who've never held a bethlehem olive wood crucifix before and watched their faces change a little. Something about the weight of it, the stone, the wood. It lands differently than you expect.

This is a bethlehem crucifix you can actually get for $7.00, factory-direct, with no importers taking a cut along the way. If you're looking for a crucifix for sale that's the real thing and not something off a mass production line, this is it. Crosses hand carved in Bethlehem don't usually come at this price. Ours do because we ship direct.

Perfect As a Gift

A priest I know ordered a dozen of these last Easter to give to families after baptism. He told me he hadn't expected the stone to make such a difference, but every family commented on it. That small detail, a piece of actual Holy Land ground, changes how it feels in your hands.

It works for almost any occasion. Crosses baptism gift, crosses confirmation gift, crosses easter gift, and honestly crosses christmas gift too. Crosses wedding gift for a couple starting their home together, this fits that as well. At $7.00 it's also easy to order a few at once, and free US shipping kicks in over $100.

We ship worldwide, so if you're sending one overseas to family, that's not a problem. Orders over $100 ship free within the US.

The Story Behind It

Most crucifixes you find online are factory-made somewhere with no connection to the story they're supposed to carry. Ours are different. The families carving these live within walking distance of where Christ was born. That's not marketing copy, that's just geography.

The olive wood comes from annual pruning of living trees. Nobody's cutting anything down. These carvers have been doing this for generations, and your order keeps that going in a direct way. No charity angle here, just a fair trade, factory-direct relationship that's been running for decades.

The stone makes this one special to me personally. Setting a piece of Holy Land ground into a cross in wood from the same region, it sounds simple, but I think it's one of the more honest things we sell. A christ crosses tradition going back centuries, made by hand, shipped to you direct. That's the whole thing.

Care Instructions

Olive wood's low maintenance. If it starts looking dry, rub a small drop of olive oil into it with a cloth and that's all it needs. Don't soak it in water, and it'll last a long time.
