About This Nativity

Set this on a shelf and people stop and look. The whole scene is there, Mary, Joseph, the baby, shepherds, animals, a palm tree, and the city of Bethlehem rising behind them. The angel sits up top with a star, and there's a small banner that just reads "Bethlehem." Nothing overdone. It tells the story at a glance.

It's laser-cut from genuine olive wood, so the grain runs through every figure. The natural tones are warm, almost amber in the right light. At 5 x 3.2 x 1.9 inches it fits on a mantel, a windowsill, the corner of a desk. If you're looking for nativities for sale that actually come from the place the story happened, this is one of them.

Sixty grams. You can hold the whole scene in one hand.

Perfect As a Gift

A pastor in Ohio ordered a dozen of these last November, one for each family in his congregation. He emailed me in January to say they were still displayed in living rooms across his parish. That's the kind of thing that sticks with you. Whether it's a nativities christmas gift, a nativities baptism gift for a new family, or a nativities confirmation gift for a young person coming into the faith, this one travels well and lands right.

It ships in a gift-ready box, so you can order it and send it directly. Free US shipping on orders over $100, and we ship worldwide from Bethlehem.

The Story Behind It

Most nativities you find online are factory-made somewhere with no connection to the story. Ours come from families who live a short walk from where that story happened.

The artisan family behind this piece has been working olive wood for three generations. The wood itself comes from annual pruning of living trees in the Holy Land. Nobody cuts a tree down for this, the branches are trimmed anyway, the wood would otherwise go to waste. These families take it and turn it into something that lasts decades.

Factory-direct pricing means your money goes to them, not to a chain of importers. I've been visiting these workshops since I was a kid following my father around, and I still find it something worth paying attention to.

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 it'll come right back. Don't soak it in water, and that's genuinely about it.
