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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2885ccf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2885ccf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb437aa e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cb437aa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af23ae5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"af23ae5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>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.
