Throughout history the olive tree which is an evergreen tree with numerous branches, has been one of the most characteristic, most valued and most useful trees in the Holy Land.

The olive tree is a slow-growing tree requiring years of patient labor before reaching full fruitfulness. On the other hand the olive tree  survive up to 2000 years. Its growth implies a certain degree of settlement and peace and that's the reason it has long been the emblem of peace.

The manufacture of religious and artistic artifacts from olive wood has been a tradition among the natives of  Bethlehem and the surrounding villages.

These skills have been passed from generation to generation.

Olive wood is a very hard wood with a beautiful pale grain. The olive wood used in these hand-crafted artifacts are of wood harvested from the Holy Land; no tree is damaged or destroyed in the process, after all it is a fruitful tree.

Each piece of olive wood used in these artifacts is carefully cut, smoothed and handcrafted; that is why no two pieces are alike.

Olive wood artifacts make a wonderful gift for that special person in your life or just a gift for yourself. Owning an olive wood  hand-crafted piece is as close as you can get to owning a piece of the HOLY LAND.
