The Story Behind It

Olive wood carving has been the trade of Bethlehem's Christian families for generations. This crucifix is made by artisans who learned the craft from their fathers — shaping the dense, fragrant wood by hand, fitting the metal corpus, and setting the relic capsule with care. Every piece leaves Bethlehem carrying something of the place where Jesus was born.
