Olive Wood Cross · Piece 6850973584
Holy LandMade in Bethlehem with a smooth finish, a carved shell dove and laser detailed Stations of the Cross on the back.
Bring a meaningful connection to Bethlehem into your home with a cross that joins the warmth of olive wood and the gentle shimmer of genuine mother of pearl.
Crafted in Bethlehem, each cross features a mother of pearl dove representing the Holy Spirit. The shell material is imported and carved locally, continuing the Holy Land’s treasured tradition of mother of pearl artistry.
The care is in the details. Smoothly finished faces, softly contoured edges and flowing wood grain give each cross a refined appearance and a comfortable feel. The finish celebrates the natural beauty of olive wood, from golden tones to rich, dark grain patterns. No two pieces are exactly alike.
Turn the cross over to discover another expression of faith: the Jerusalem inscription and the 14 Stations of the Cross, applied with precise laser detailing. The 14¾ inch and 12 inch crosses feature illustrated station scenes. The four smaller sizes feature numbered station markings.
Choose the size that suits your home, prayer corner or gift occasion. The two largest crosses include an attached metal hanging bracket; the four smaller sizes have a drilled hanging hole. Each size is sold individually and includes a certificate of authenticity.
Whether given for Confirmation, a wedding, a housewarming or a special expression of encouragement, this cross offers an enduring reminder of faith, peace and the Holy Spirit’s presence.

Each piece is hand carved from genuine Holy Land olive wood, prized for its warm tone and one of a kind grain. Because olive wood is a living natural material, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth and keep your piece away from direct sunlight, water, and heat so its natural beauty lasts for generations.
