Bethlehem Handicrafts Verified independent store

One Gospel, four corners of the earth: that is the message the Jerusalem cross has carried since the Middle Ages, cut here into solid olive wood from the Bethlehem hills. It hangs from a simple cord, plain enough for everyday wear and rich enough in meaning to start a conversation. Carvers in Bethlehem shape each cross from pruned olive branches and finish it by hand, so the warm grain shows a character all its own. Given at an ordination, it sends a new deacon or priest into ministry wearing the very emblem of that mission. Free US shipping on orders over $75. Hand crafted in Bethlehem by the Bannoura family. Trusted by Catholic homes across America since 2000. Size: pendant about 0.9 inches tall. Show more
