Olive Wood Standing Cross 18.5 cm – Removable Base

A standing cross in olive wood that finds its place on a shelf, chest of drawers or home altar: at 18.5 cm high it is compact enough for small corners and yet clearly visible. Cross and base can be taken apart, so you can also hold the cross on its own in your hand or pass it on well packed.

Olive trees belong to the biblical landscape, and since the story of Noah the olive branch has been a sign of peace. In Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, olive wood is traditionally made into religious carvings. This cross comes from there, stays entirely plain and lets the grain of the wood speak.

A fitting gift for a christening, First Holy Communion or Confirmation, but also for a wedding or as a quiet companion in a time of bereavement. Because it is a natural product, grain, colour and shape differ slightly from piece to piece. A dry cloth is enough for care; you should not clean it with water. You will find more pieces in the collectionOlive wood from Bethlehem.
