At Jacobâs well in Samaria, under the noonday sun, a weary woman came seeking water â but she found something far greater. Jesus met her where she was: burdened, misunderstood, and thirsty for meaning.
In that moment, the ordinary act of drawing water became a divine encounter â the first revelation of the âLiving Waterâ that satisfies every soul. This hand-carved Olive Wood Lady at the Well from Bethlehem captures that sacred meeting.
The olive woodâs soft grain tells the story of a land where heaven touched earth, while the figure reminds us that God still meets us in our daily thirsts, offering renewal, forgiveness, and hope.
Place this statue in your home, and let it speak to you â of grace that crosses barriers, of love that transforms shame into witness, and of the Living Water that still flows from the heart of the Holy Land.
Bring a story of transformation from the Holy Land into your space with this handcrafted olive wood statue: the âLady at the Well.â Created in Bethlehem by Christian artisans, each piece is carved from authentic olive wood, naturally polished to reveal its unique grain and character.
Why this statue matters:
The sculptural scene draws from the powerful encounter recorded in John 4. Jesus travels through Samaria and meets a woman at the well who is socially marginalized â she comes alone at midday, likely avoided by others.
When you place this statue in your home, prayer corner or church lobby, you invite the viewer into the story of meeting someone at the well â someone tired, someone rejected, someone thirsty for more. The figure holding the jar, standing at the well invites reflection: âWhat is your life-water? What are you thirsty for?â The olive wood, with its natural warmth and roots in the land where the story happened, makes this more than decoration: it is symbol, reminder, invitation.
He asks her for a drink, and then offers something greater: âliving waterâ that leads to never thirsting again. He reveals himself as the Messiah (John 4:26) and breaks down cultural barriers (Jew & Samaritan) and personal shame.
Many note that the womanâs coming at noon â when most women did not draw â may symbolize her isolation or social outcast status, adding depth to Jesusâ approach of grace.
The âfive husbandsâ detail (John 4:18) is often interpreted not only personally, but symbolically â some scholars relate it to the history of Samariaâs spiritual unfaithfulness, making the encounter both personal and corporate.
The shift from physical water to spiritual water shows that Jesus offers not merely [physical] refreshment, but eternal renewal and a living relationship with God.
The woman becomes one of the first evangelists: she leaves her water-jar and goes to tell her town about Jesus: âCome, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?â (John 4:29)
