About This Cross
These are small. Really small. Under an inch tall, which surprises people the first time they hold one. But that little heart cut right through the center of the wood, that's what gets them. It's not decorative for the sake of it. It means something, faith and love together in one piece you can actually carry.
If you're looking for crosses for sale that come from somewhere real, these come from Bethlehem. Christian artisan families make them by hand, same workshops, same families, for generations. We sell them in packs of 10 or 50 because churches, ministries, and parents planning baptisms order them that way. Individually they're beautiful. In a bowl on a table at a reception, they're something else entirely.
From Our Family to Yours
Hi, I'm Elias. I grew up around these workshops and I've been running this shop for years now. These little crosses order online more than almost anything else we carry, especially around Easter and confirmation season. I keep a few on my desk. They're the kind of thing you pick up without thinking and just hold for a second. That's a good sign for any piece.

A pastor in Texas ordered 50 of these for a confirmation class last spring. He wrote to say the kids actually kept them, which doesn't always happen with small favors. That tells you something. As a crosses baptism gift or a crosses confirmation gift, they land right. Small enough to be practical, meaningful enough to actually matter.
They work for crosses easter gift baskets, crosses christmas gift bags, crosses wedding gift table displays, you name it. And honestly, anytime someone needs a crosses gift idea for a person who's hard to shop for, this is the answer. Free US shipping on orders over $100, so a pack of 50 ships to you at no extra cost.

The Story Behind It
Most crosses you find online are factory-made somewhere with no connection to the places or people the symbols represent. These aren't. They come from Christian artisan families in Bethlehem who have been working with olive wood from the Holy Land for generations. The wood itself comes from annual pruning of living trees. Nobody's cutting anything down to make these.
I've been to these workshops. The detail on something this small, under an inch, done by hand, it takes patience most people don't have anymore. These are crosses hand carved by people who know exactly what they're making and why. That's not something I can put in a spec sheet, but it's real, and it matters, at least to me.

Care Instructions
Olive wood is low maintenance. If the surface starts looking a little dry, rub a small drop of olive oil in with a cloth and it'll come right back. Don't soak it in water. That's genuinely all there's to it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is this thing actually?
Under an inch tall. Like, genuinely small, most people are surprised when they hold one for the first time.
Is this actually from Bethlehem or just marketed that way?
Yeah, actually from Bethlehem. I know that's what everyone says but I've been working with these same artisan families for years, same workshops my dad started with. The handmade olive wood pieces come through the same hands every time. It's not a warehouse situation where stuff gets relabeled, it's families in Bethlehem who've been doing this for generations. I get that it sounds like marketing. It's not.
Does it come in any kind of gift packaging?
Honestly it depends on what you need. If it's for a baptism or something like that, reach out and I can tell you what we've got on hand. We're not a big box operation so sometimes we can do more than the listing shows.
What's it made of?
Natural wood finish, not painted or stained. Real material, not a veneer.
How fast does this ship?
Pretty standard, ships in a couple days usually. Free shipping if you're in the US and over $100. Most orders get there in about a week, sometimes less.
