Olive Wood Bethlehem Plaque #PL107

This traditional, purist Orthodox Cross is handmade in the Holy Land from sustainably harvested, authentic Bethlehem Olivewood. This cross is an exact replica of the first handmade crosses made in Bethlehem. Its simple design dates back to many centuries ago when Eastern European and Greek Christians first began making pilgrimages to Bethlehem and sought souvenirs to take back home with them. Therefore, this piece along with our Hand-Strung Plain Olive Wood Rosary created the olivewood handicraft sector in Bethlehem. This item includes a certificate of authenticity verifying the materials and techniques used to make this product. Size: 22 cm (8.75″)
