This olive wood crucifix is handcrafted by skilled Christian artisans in Bethlehem. Made from genuine olive wood, each piece is unique with natural grain patterns. Size: 8 inch. Ships worldwide with free US shipping on orders over $100.
About This Cross
The first thing you notice when you pick this up is the weight. Not heavy, just present. The olive wood is warm in your hand, and the metal crucifix mounted to the front catches the light in a way that feels intentional, not decorative. This is a genuine crucifix for sale that comes directly from Christian artisan families in Bethlehem, not a factory somewhere overseas.
It's 4 by 2 and 7/8 inches, which makes it right-sized for a wall but small enough to wrap up and give as a crosses gift idea for someone you care about. The grain on every piece runs a little differently. I've handled hundreds of these and I still look at each one when it comes through.

Perfect As a Gift
A pastor in Texas ordered a set of three last Easter. He told me he kept one, gave one to a family going through a rough season, and placed one in the church's prayer room. That's the kind of thing that makes this easy to recommend as a crosses easter gift or a crosses baptism gift without hesitation.

The Story Behind It
Most crosses you find online are factory-stamped pieces that came off a mold in bulk. These aren't. The families who make them have been doing this craft in Bethlehem for three generations, and the olive wood cross from Jerusalem that you're looking at right now was shaped and finished by hand, one piece at a time.
The coptic christian cross and orthodox church cross traditions run deep in this part of the world. Being close to the stations of the cross and the other holy sites keeps the work grounded in something real. That matters to the artisans, and honestly it matters to me too.

Care Instructions
Wipe it down with a dry cloth to keep the metal crucifix looking sharp. Avoid moisture and harsh chemicals, both on the metal and the wood. That's really all it needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this actually from Bethlehem or is that just marketing?
Yeah, genuinely. Not a label slapped on something made in a warehouse. The families who carve these are the same ones my dad built relationships with years ago. I've packed hundreds of these orders myself, and I know exactly where they come from. Bethlehem. Real handmade olive wood, not a veneer, not a pressed composite. You can tell when you hold it, the grain's never perfectly uniform because it's not supposed to be.
Does it come in any kind of gift box or packaging?
It ships packaged so nothing gets damaged, and it's clean enough to give as-is. Honestly it photographs well too, people order these for baptism and confirmation gifts pretty regularly and I've never had someone complain the presentation was lacking.
How big is it exactly?
4 by 2 and 7/8 inches. Wall cross, not a pocket piece.
What's shipping like, how long does it take to get here?
Pretty standard, ships in a couple days usually. Free shipping if you're in the US and over $100. Most orders I'd say probably a week to ten days depending where you are.
Can I order more than one, like if I need several for gifts?
There's a 3-pack option right on the listing, that's actually the one a lot of people grab for first communion or confirmation seasons, you get a better per-unit situation and they're consistent pieces so you're not getting mismatched grain or anything.
