Our Story
We are proud to serve as authorized U.S. distributors for our uncle’s family of Palestinian Christian artisans. These craftsmen, based in Bethlehem and nearby villages, have inherited and preserved this sacred tradition, creating stunning, handmade olive wood carvings that reflect their deep spiritual heritage.
Each piece is crafted from the trimmings and prunings of authentic, centuries-old olive trees grown in the Holy Land—the birthplace of Jesus Christ. Many of our carvings are beautifully enhanced with crystal inlays and religiously significant stones for spiritual protection, while others feature hand-placed mother-of-pearl inlays on crosses and statues, adding elegance and reverence to every detail.
All of our creations are blessed in the Holy Land and include a Certificate of Authenticity. These are not mass-produced items, but one-of-a-kind expressions of faith, each carved with care, devotion, and a deep sense of purpose.
By supporting Holy Branch of Olive!, you're not only receiving a sacred piece of craftsmanship—you’re also helping sustain Christian families in the Holy Land who rely on this ancient trade for their livelihood. Your purchase contributes to the preservation of Christian presence in Bethlehem, a mission that grows more meaningful each day.
Based in Long Beach, California, we proudly bring this rich tradition to the U.S. and beyond. Whether you're seeking a meaningful gift, a family heirloom, or a piece to enhance your spiritual space, we invite you to explore our collection and experience the beauty, faith, and history behind every carving.
