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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#faf6f1;border-left:4px solid #c8a96e;padding:18px 20px;margin:20px 0;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#5a4a3a\"\u003eFrom Our Family to Yours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#6b5d4f;font-size:15px\"\u003eHi, I'm Elias.
