Description
What You're Getting
An All-Olive Wood Crucifix Where Cross and Corpus Are the Same Material
What distinguishes this crucifix is that both the cross and the corpus representing Christ are carved from olive wood from Bethlehem. Most crucifixes use wood for the cross and a separate material for the corpus.
A Corpus Carved from a Single Piece of Olive Wood
The corpus is carved from a single piece of olive wood rather than assembled from multiple parts. The single-piece carving gives the corpus a cohesion and integrity that assembled pieces cannot match. For more master-crafted Holy Land devotional art, browse our Christian gifts collection.
Bethlehem Olive Wood from Trees Connected to the Holy Land
The olive wood used in this crucifix comes from trees of the same variety that grew in Gethsemane and around Jerusalem. Every two years the trees are pruned to encourage fruit bearing, and these prunings are the source of the wood used by Christian craftsmen in Bethlehem.

Storage and Care
Displaying Your All Olive Wood Crucifix
Hang on a wall hook using the included heavy duty hanger. Choose a location away from direct sunlight and sustained humidity. The dry olive wood used in this piece is stable, but prolonged moisture exposure should be avoided.
Caring for Your All Olive Wood Crucifix
Dust with a dry soft cloth. Avoid applying liquids or polishes directly to the corpus or the finely carved areas. If the wood appears to be drying out over time, a very light application of olive oil on a cloth can nourish the surface without damaging it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the entire crucifix made from olive wood, including the corpus?
Yes. Both the cross and the corpus are made from olive wood from Bethlehem. The corpus is also carved from a single piece of olive wood rather than assembled from parts.
What does 'dry olive wood' mean?
Dry olive wood has been properly seasoned to remove most of its moisture content before carving. This reduces the risk of the wood cracking or warping after the piece is made and displayed in a home environment. It is the preferred material for quality olive wood carving.
Is a wall hanger included?
Yes. A heavy duty wall hanger is included for installation. No additional hardware is needed beyond a suitable wall hook. For more wall-ready Holy Land pieces, browse our olive wood collection.
Where does the olive wood for this crucifix come from?
The olive wood comes from trees of the same variety that grew in Gethsemane and around Jerusalem. Bethlehem Christian craftsmen use the prunings from these trees, which are cut every two years to encourage the trees to bear fruit.
Are bulk or wholesale orders available?
