Our Small Holding Cross is a beautifully simple piece designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Hand carved from olive wood in Bethlehem by the Giacaman Family, each cross highlights the natural grain and warmth of the wood, making every piece unique. Crafted using only pruned olive branches, never cutting down trees, the wood is carefully dried for over a year before carving. This thoughtful process allows the natural character of the olive wood to shine, with subtle variations in grain, tone, and texture that add to its authenticity. Created by master woodcarver Ibrahim Giacaman, a fourth generation artisan trained in Bethlehem and Florence, each piece is thoughtfully shaped and hand finished. Its smooth, compact design makes it ideal for carrying, gifting, or keeping close as a meaningful, handcrafted keepsake. Due to the handmade nature of each piece, slight variations from the photo are to be expected.
