Christian cross is manufactured by the Bethlehem craftsmen who only use natural olive wood which gives unusual texture to each cross. The crusifix is inlaid with mother of pearl, and has items that are important for every believer: containers with frankincense, the Holy Soil of Jerusalem, Jerusalem stone and 14 Stations of the Cross ( Via Dolorosa) on the back of the cross. Hanging such cross at home will grant protection of a higher power.
This product will last very long due to the special strength of the olive wood. It is sometimes called an immortal tree - its age can reach 2000 years. The wood of the olive tree is hard and heavy, which makes its processing difficult, but, nonetheless, it is highly valued by wood carvers. Olive tree products are very popular in Israel. In addition to the unique beauty of the pattern and unusual colors, they are characterized by amazing strength and durability.
