Olive Wood Comfort Cross from Bethlehem with Gift Bags

About This Comfort Cross

Pick one of these up and you'll feel the difference right away. Olive wood has a warmth to it that plastic and resin just don't have. These olive wood crosses from Bethlehem are carved to sit in your palm, small enough to carry in a pocket or a purse, real enough to actually mean something when you reach for it.

We carry three sizes. The small is 2.5 inches, the medium is 3.5, the large is 4.2. Each one shaped for holding, not just for display. People order these as a single cross for themselves, and churches order them by the hundred for grief care, hospital chaplains, confirmation classes. We make that easy with the bulk options.

If you're looking for olive wood crosses for sale that come ready to give, these ship with an elegant gift bag included. No extra wrapping needed. Just order and hand it to someone.

Perfect As a Gift

A pastor from Ohio ordered 50 of these last Easter for his congregation. He wrote to tell me that several of his elderly members keep one on their nightstand now. That happens a lot with the comfort cross. It's one of those crosses gift ideas that sticks around.

The gift bag is included with every cross, so it's ready to hand to someone at a baptism, a confirmation, a wedding, or a funeral. No extra step. For anyone who wants to order crosses online and skip the wrapping, this is a simple solution.

Bulk packs go up to 100 pieces, with free US shipping on orders over $50. Churches and ministries order from us regularly for exactly that reason.

The Story Behind It

Most wood crosses you find online are factory-stamped somewhere overseas with no connection to the story of Christianity. Ours are different. The families carving these bethlehem crosses live a short walk from the Church of the Nativity. They've been doing this work for three generations and they're still doing it by hand.

The olive wood itself comes from annual pruning of living trees near the Holy Land. Nobody's cutting a tree down to make a cross. The pruned branches would otherwise go to waste. That detail matters to me, and I think it matters to the people who buy these too.

We work directly with these families. No importers, no warehouses in a third country. When you order, it comes from Bethlehem. That's the whole chain.

Care Instructions

Olive wood's low maintenance. If it starts looking dry after a while, 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. That's about it.
