What You're Getting
The Olive Wood Jerusalem Cross
This is a square olive wood Jerusalem cross measuring 10.5 x 10.5 cm, handmade by a Christian family in Bethlehem. The outer form is carved by hand and the inner four smaller crosses are produced by laser for precision detail. The cross is thick enough to stand as a table cross as well as hang on a wall. A Certificate of Authenticity and Lord's Prayer card are included.
Olive Wood from the Trees of Jerusalem and Gethsemane
The olive wood used in this cross comes from the prunings of olive trees growing in and around Jerusalem, including trees of the type that grew in the Garden of Gethsemane. Every two years these trees are pruned to help them bear fruit, and the prunings are used by Christian craftsmen in Bethlehem to produce these crosses.

Dual Use as Wall Cross or Table Cross
The thickness of this Jerusalem cross means it can stand independently on a flat surface as well as hang on a wall. This makes it one of the more versatile crosses in the collection, suited to a desk, shelf, home altar, or wall.
