What You're Getting
The 10 Olive Wood Comfort Crosses
This is a set of 10 olive wood holding hand crosses, each 4 inches in height, handmade in Bethlehem. Each cross comes in a velvet pouch, either red or black, with a Certificate of Origin and Lord's Prayer gift card. The cross is shaped to fit comfortably in the hand. Because each cross is carved from the pruned branches of olive trees from the Bethlehem area, no two crosses look exactly the same.
The Comfort Cross
This cross is known as a comfort cross. Holding the soft olive wood offers solace and over time the cross develops its own natural patina, adding depth and richness to the wood. It is small enough to carry in a purse or pocket at all times. The carving is environmentally friendly since it uses the pruned branches of living olive trees. For a set of 25 smaller crosses browse the Small Olive Wood Pocket Crosses Set of 25.
Each Cross is Unique
No two crosses look exactly the same because of the natural variation in the olive wood grain and color. Each cross is shaped unevenly in order to fit into your hand comfortably. The cross is described as a beautiful spiritual keepsake for yourself and to give as a gift to those you care about. For a single cross with a velvet sachet browse the Olive Wood Pocket Cross with Velvet Sachet.
