About the Origin of the Olive Wood
The Olive Tree
The olive tree is a blessed tree in the holy book. From its trunks and branches artists build beautiful masterpieces. These items make perfect gifts. Olive wood souvenirs do not require very much upkeep. The olive oil in the wood naturally protects them from corrosion and changes of color.
The Perfect Gift
Add a special touch to your gift giving this year with homemade olive wood carvings from the Holy Land. This beautiful wood comes from olive trees, the type that grew in the garden of Gethsemane and around Jerusalem where Jesus walked. Every 2 years the olive trees are pruned so that they bear fruit. These beautiful pieces are made from these pruning's by Christian craftsmen living in Bethlehem and Jerusalem.
