The cross itself is carved in the shape of the name Jesus, so it's not just a cross on the wall, it's a word. A name. People notice it when they walk into a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's 7 inches tall, which is a good size for a bedroom wall, an entryway, above a doorframe. And at the base there's a small capsule filled with actual soil from Bethlehem. Not decorative. Real soil, from the birthplace of Jesus. That detail stops people every time I describe it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for an olive wood Jesus cross for sale that actually comes from where the story started, this is it.

These are not. The family who carves this design has been working in the same workshop near Manger Square for three generations. The olive wood comes from annual pruning, living trees, nothing cut down just for the wood. That matters to them and it matters to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soil capsule isn't a marketing idea. It came from the artisans themselves, wanting people who receive these pieces to have a real physical connection to the land. I think that's a pretty good instinct, honestly.
