About This Angel

There's something about holding this little figure that settles you. It's only 3.2 inches tall, but it's weight to it, a presence. You can feel where the carver's tools shaped the wings, the folded hands, the quiet downward tilt of the head.

This is a hand carved angel made from genuine olive wood in Bethlehem, not pressed, not molded, not assembled from parts. Each one is shaped individually by Christian artisan families who've been doing this their whole lives. If you're looking for angels hand carved with that kind of care, this is it. Small enough to tuck beside a lamp or carry in a bag, but you'll notice it every time you pass it.

Perfect As a Gift

A teacher in Ohio ordered six of these last December, one for each person on her list. She wrote back a few weeks later just to say they were the gift everyone kept asking about. That kind of thing happens a lot with this one.

It works for just about any occasion, and the small size means it travels well in a gift bag without needing much packaging. Free US shipping on orders over $100 makes it easy to grab a few at once.

The Story Behind It

Most angel figurines you find online are factory-made somewhere, cast in resin, painted, done. These aren't. Every one of these comes out of a small workshop near Manger Square, shaped by hand from olive wood grown in the Holy Land.

The families who carve these have been doing it for generations. The wood itself comes from annual pruning of living trees, so nothing's being cut down for this. That matters to me, and it matters to them. You order one of these and you're helping keep that craft alive in Bethlehem, where it started, where it belongs.

I've watched these carvers work. Their hands move fast but they never rush a piece. Each angel gets its own time. You can feel that when you hold one.

Care Instructions

Olive wood is low maintenance. If it starts to look a little dry after a while, rub a small drop of olive oil into it with a soft cloth and it'll come right back. Don't soak it in water. That's really all there's to it.
