Deacon Cross Necklace | Olive Wood from Bethlehem · Piece BH 50018
Holy LandDetails
Slanted like the stole a deacon wears across his chest, the deacon's cross sits at its own distinctive angle, a form long associated with the men who serve at the altar and among the poor. Here it is rendered in solid olive wood with the warm striped grain the Bethlehem hills are known for.
The Bannoura family workshop carves each one just steps from the Church of the Nativity, sanding and oiling the wood by hand until the grain glows. Given at ordination to the diaconate, it honors a vocation of service that reaches back to the first deacons named in the Acts of the Apostles.
Free US shipping on orders over $75. Hand crafted in Bethlehem by the Bannoura family. Trusted by Catholic homes across America since 2000.
Materials + Care
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.
