Hand-Carved Olive Wood Holding Cross from Bethlehem
Discover the natural beauty of our hand-carved olive wood holding cross, lovingly crafted by a small family of skilled artisans in Bethlehem, the Holy Land.
Each cross is carefully shaped from natural olive wood, with smooth, rounded contours designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Its tactile finish and distinctive wood grain make it a meaningful companion for prayer, quiet reflection and moments of comfort.
A Cross Designed to Hold
Unlike a traditional wall cross, this olive wood holding cross is specially designed to rest naturally in your hand. Its compact shape makes it easy to carry in a pocket or handbag, so you can keep it close during prayer, travel or moments when you need comfort and reassurance.
Available in three sizes, these handcrafted wooden crosses are suitable for different needs and occasions, from a small religious keepsake to a larger cross for everyday personal devotion.
