Item Description...
Bring home the simplicity of the Olive Wood Wall Cross. This beautifully hand crafted cross measures 8".
Olive wood has been used for carving since ancient times. The art of carving olive wood is now a tradition that is passed on from generation to generation. It is a craft that is mostly associated with artisans in Bethlehem.
Palestinian Christians have put to use ages of traditional carving techniques to bring olive wood carvings to the world. The process is long, often taking 45 days to complete a single carving.
Olive wood, in addition to having been mentioned in the Scripture, is hardy and resilient. Almost always, 15 percent of the carving is done by machine. The rest is done by hand. The piece is chiseled, sanded and polished by skilled artisans. The final finish is with olive wax, that gives the piece its luster and durability.
Olive wood is perfect for carving since it's easier than most other wood specimens. The finish and grain of the wood differs for each piece because of the tree's annual structural growth. That makes every piece unique!
Even more interesting is that olive wood is resistant to decay. The surface of the wood allows for several artificial treatments as well.
This Olive Wood Cross is simple, yet powerful. Without any superficial trappings, this cross reminds you of the cross Jesus carried to Calvary.
It was this simple then, yet it carried the burden and sins of all our people. This cross may look simple, but it is a strong reminder to us that Jesus saved us all.
Bring home this beautiful cross for the statement it makes, all on its own. It's perfect for any place in the house. This Wall Cross in light brown will be a banner unto your home.
