What You're Getting
The 6-Inch Praying Hands
This is a one-piece hand-carved olive wood praying hands sculpture standing 6 inches tall. The wood comes from olive trees in Bethlehem, the same type that grew in Gethsemane and around Jerusalem. These trees are pruned every two years so they bear fruit, and the prunings are used by Christian craftsmen and women in Bethlehem. The piece is freestanding and can hold prayer beads or a rosary. A Certificate of Authenticity and a Lord's Prayer card are included.
Can Hold Prayer Beads or a Rosary
The design of the praying hands allows prayer beads or a rosary to be placed within or across them. This makes the piece both a devotional display object and a practical holder for your rosary. For a 4.5-inch option browse the Medium Praying Hands 4.5 Inches.
Made from Gethsemane-Type Olive Trees
The wood is from olive trees of the same type as those in the Garden of Gethsemane. The natural colour and grain of each piece make it unique. For the extra large museum quality version browse the Extra Large Praying Hands 8-9 Inches.
