What You're Getting
A Hand-Carved Olive Wood Praying Angel from Bethlehem
The olive wood has the characteristic rich color and visible grain veins that come from the trees of the Bethlehem region. Each figure is individually carved, so no two pieces are exactly alike in grain or detail. For more olive wood religious figures from Bethlehem, browse our olive wood collection.
The Praying Angel
Angels in a praying posture are an enduring subject in Christian religious art, representing intercession, protection, and divine presence. It connects that symbolism to the land at the center of the Christian faith, giving the figure spiritual meaning.
Includes Certificate and Nativity Story Booklet
The figure comes with a certificate of authenticity and a Nativity story booklet or narrative double card. The combination of the figure and the booklet makes it a gift with more depth than a figurine alone. For more meaningful gifts from the Holy Land, explore our christian gifts collection.
