A First Communion gift should last longer than the party. Every piece here is hand carved in Bethlehem by Christian families from Holy Land olive wood, the same wood that grew where Jesus walked. A rosary, a small cross for the bedroom wall, or a chalice carving becomes the thing a child keeps through Confirmation, college, and their own wedding day.
Godparents and grandparents usually choose a rosary or a standing crucifix. Parents choosing for a whole class order pocket crosses or comfort crosses by the dozen. Each gift arrives with a card explaining where it was made and by whom.

A rosary with mother of pearl beads, a cross necklace on a cord, or a small angel carving. Many families add a keepsake box to hold the rosary and her Communion photo.

Guests usually spend $20 to $50. Godparents and grandparents often choose an heirloom piece between $75 and $200, such as a large crucifix or a Last Supper carving.

Our carvings come from Bethlehem, a short walk from the Church of the Nativity. Any priest will gladly bless the gift after Mass, and we include a card with a short blessing prayer.
