What You're Getting
The Larger Jerusalem Cross
Like the smaller version, it is made from thick Bethlehem olive wood with Mother of Pearl applied piece by piece across the surface. For more olive wood crosses and wall pieces, browse our olive wood collection.
Size Provides Greater Wall Presence
At 6.25 inches square, this cross has a more commanding presence on a wall than the smaller version. The larger surface area also means more Mother of Pearl coverage, making the iridescent quality of the shell more pronounced and visible from a greater distance.
Wood from the Olive Trees of the Holy Land
The olive wood used for this cross comes from trees of the same type that grew in Gethsemane and around Jerusalem. The trees are pruned every two years, and these carvings are made from those prunings by Christian craftsmen in Bethlehem. For more items from this tradition, explore our christian gifts collection.
