Mother of Pearl Inlay and 5 Holy Land Samples
Mother of pearl is inlaid along the edges of the crucifix, catching the light and adding a delicate ornamental quality to the olive wood surface. Five samples from the Holy Land are embedded within the piece, connecting it physically to the biblical landscape.
The Byzantine and Orthodox Tradition
The budded cross form, with its three-rounded terminal ends, is a recognized feature of Byzantine and Orthodox Christian iconography. This crucifix represents that tradition in olive wood by the Christian artisans of Bethlehem who have passed this craft down through generations.

Storage and Care
Displaying Your 14 Stations Crucifix
Hang on a wall hook rated for the weight of the piece. Keep away from direct sunlight, which can fade the olive wood finish over time. Avoid locations with high humidity such as bathrooms.
Caring for Your 14 Stations Crucifix
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid liquid cleaners on the mother of pearl or the embedded Holy Land samples. Handle by the cross arms rather than by the corpus when moving or repositioning. To learn more about Holy Land Market visit the about Holy Land Market page.
