This Hand-Carved Olive Wood Holy Family on Boat Sculpture beautifully unites two of Christianityâs most profound symbols: the Holy Family â the first Church, and the Boat, an ancient emblem of the Church navigating the waters of life.
Lovingly carved in Bethlehem by Christian artisans of the Holy Land, each piece tells a story of faith, heritage, and devotion. The flowing boat form cradles Joseph, Mary, and the Baby Jesus, capturing the peace and unity of the family that welcomed Godâs Son into the world.
The boatâs shape symbolizes the Church itself, carrying believers safely across lifeâs challenges, guided by faith and anchored in Christ. Just as the Holy Familyâs love formed the heart of the first Church, this piece reminds us that our own families are small domestic churches â living vessels of hope, love, and prayer.
Handcrafted from genuine Holy Land olive wood, each sculpture showcases the unique grain and color of this sacred material, making every piece truly one-of-a-kind.
