About This Nativity
Set this on your desk and it just sits there quietly doing something a lot of bigger, fancier pieces can't. It feels real. The grain on every piece of Holy Land olive wood is different, so the one you get won't look exactly like the photo, and that's a good thing.
It's small enough to fit in your palm, about 3.5 inches across, but there's a lot packed into it. The Holy Family, a guardian angel, the Star of Bethlehem, a palm tree, the stable. All of it laser-engraved with real detail into olive wood from trees that are still standing here. If you're looking for nativity scene sets for sale that actually come from where the story happened, this is it.
We ship these all over the world. People keep them on shelves, on desks, in cars. One woman told me she keeps hers next to her laptop so she sees it every morning. I liked that. For anyone looking to order a distinct nativity scene online, or just a simple nativities gift idea that means something, this one doesn't disappoint at seven dollars.
From Our Family to Yours
Hi, I'm Elias. I grew up around these pieces, my father had them stacked in the back room before I was old enough to know what they were. This tabletop manger scene is one of the first things we started carrying and it's never left the shop. Every one ships direct from us here in Bethlehem, no warehouse somewhere in the middle.

The Story Behind It
Most christmas nativities for sale you find online are factory-made somewhere with no connection to the actual story. These aren't. The families carving and finishing these pieces live and work in Bethlehem, a few minutes from where the Nativity actually took place.
The olive wood comes from annual pruning of living trees. Nobody's cutting old groves down for this. The wood gets used because it's already been trimmed, and the families here have been working with it for generations. Your order goes directly to them, no importer in between, which is why we can keep the price where it is.
That matters to me, not just as a business thing, but because I know these families. I grew up around this craft. It would bother me to sell something I couldn't stand behind.

Care Instructions
Olive wood doesn't need much. If it starts looking a little dry, rub a small drop of olive oil into it with a cloth and that's all it needs. Don't soak it in water and don't leave it sitting in direct sun for long stretches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I give this as a gift or does it come in something nice?
Yeah, it comes gift-ready. We wrap it in a little box with some tissue, nothing crazy but it looks good when you open it. I've had customers order these for baptisms, confirmations, Christmas obviously. The olive wood smell when you first open it's actually part of it, people always mention that. Feels like something, not just a trinket you grabbed last minute.
Is every piece actually different or is that just marketing?
Genuinely different. The grain on olive wood doesn't repeat, so what you get won't match the photo exactly. That's not a disclaimer, it's the whole point.
Do you do bulk pricing for churches or ministry groups?
So we get this one pretty often actually, and yeah I can usually work something out. It depends on quantity. Email me directly at the store, elias@zuluf.com or through the contact page, and just tell me how many you're looking at. We've done church orders before, it's not a problem, I just don't have a fixed bulk price posted because it kind of depends on what you're ordering and how many pieces. Anyway, reach out and we'll figure it out.
What's the exact size of this thing?
About 3.5 inches across. Fits in your palm.
How do you ship and how fast does it usually get here?
Pretty standard, ships in a couple days usually. Free shipping if you're over fifty bucks in the US. Most orders land within a week, maybe ten days if it's a busy season.
