This 5.5 inch budded olive wood crucifix is hand carved in Bethlehem by the Bannoura family, who have crafted for Catholic homes in America since 2000. Each corner holds a glass capsule with a souvenir from the Holy Land: holy incense from the Nativity Church, Bethlehem soil, a Jerusalem stone, and a dried olive leaf. Together they carry the essence of where Christ was born.

The budded cross design, with three lobes at each arm, traces a pattern that has marked Christian crosses for centuries. A meaningful gift for First Communion, Confirmation, baptism, or any Catholic home or prayer space.

Dimensions: 3.7 in W x 5.5 in H. Material: solid Holy Land olive wood with glass capsule inlays. Care: dust gently with a soft dry cloth.
