Olive Wood Comfort Cross – handmade in Bethlehem

A comfort cross lies in the hand when words fail. This gently curved hand cross of untreated olive wood is made without engraving, smooth and pleasantly warm to hold, and intended for holding on to in prayer, on the move or in hard hours.

In the Bible the olive tree stands for peace: in the story of Noah the dove returns with an olive branch. In Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, olive wood is traditionally worked into religious carvings; this cross was handmade there.
