Carving olive wood nativity sets and other handicrafts is a community effort for Bethlehem Handicrafts. The revenue generated from the sales of their olive wood products supports more than 200 Christian families in Bethlehem. Because of the difficulty of traveling in that region, Bethlehem Handicrafts has faced a decline in the olive wood handicrafts industry. To continue our struggle to survive, we have now brought these beautiful olive wood nativities in addition to other products to U.S.A. Our artisans create nativity scenes that reflect separate moments in time, captured in olive wood. Each olive wood nativity shows the beautiful details and fine craftsmanship. Make these as your souvenir keepsake investment for years of Christian holiday traditions for you and your family. The Christmas nativity scene represents the original birth site of our Lord, the baby Jesus. It represents the biblical story of the journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem taking refuge in the stable when unable to find a room in an inn. The baby Jesus was born in a manger filled with hay which is the center of every nativity set. These are high quality olive wood handicrafts and the natural swirl and contrast of the olive wood grain will draw your mind that makes each piece unique.
