Welcome to the Church | Gifts for New Catholics and Converts

There is nothing like the moment a person comes home to the Church. Whether they are baptized at Easter, received into full communion, or confirmed after a long journey of the heart, a gift from the Holy Land tells them their new faith has roots as deep as the olive trees of Bethlehem.

Every piece in this collection is hand carved in Bethlehem by Christian families whose craft has been passed down through generations in the city where Jesus was born. Bethlehem Handicrafts has brought these sacred pieces to American homes since 2000, and each carving comes with a certificate of origin from the Holy Land.

Inside this collection you will find:

A first rosary, hand strung from olive wood grown in the hills around Bethlehem Wall crucifixes and Jerusalem crosses to bless a new Catholic home Comfort crosses that fit in a pocket and go along through every trial Statues of the Holy Family, the Blessed Mother, and the saints Free shipping on orders over $75. Every purchase directly supports the Christian artisan families of Bethlehem who have kept this generational craft alive in the Holy Land.
