ABOUT US
Holy Land Gift Shop is a Jerusalem-based purveyor of handmade olive wood Christian art pieces. We founded Holy Land Gift Shop to bring the beauty of handmade olive wood Christian art pieces made in the Holy Land to people beyond its borders. While the material itself is sourced directly from the Holy Land and crafted in our workshops in Jerusalem and Bethlehem, our inventory is located in the Nazareth to ensure ease and speed of delivery. Not only is the material itself sourced directly from the Holy Land, but every item, every statue, cross, nativity, rosary, jewelry piece, and more, is painstakingly carved by hand by one of our expert artisan craftsmen out of sacred olive wood. Each beautifully rendered artifact is lovingly designed and carefully crafted to provide a gorgeous, detailed heirloom piece layered with symbolic meaning and imbued with religious devotion.
Our mission is to keep this centuries-old traditional artform alive and support the local Christian communities in Jerusalem and Bethlehem and Nazareth by providing the opportunity to reach a wider audience of the faithful all the world. Anyone of Christian faith, regardless of denomination, can appreciate the beauty and significance of the artwork and its roots in the Holy Land, for not only do these pieces support their Christian carvers, but they are environmentally friendly as well. No trees are ever harmed in making these works of art, and each piece is made from sustainably sourced wood collected from yearly pruning that encourages further growth to keep these ancient and sacred trees healthy and verdant for years to come.
