Olive Wood Rosary with Holy Soil & Piece of Holy Land Box
FIVE-DECADE ROSARY
Handcrafted rosary in Bethlehem from olive wood gathered in the Holy Land. Made for the slow, daily work of prayer.
✞︎ Due to the handmade nature of the product each rosary might slightly differ.
This olive wood rosary with Holy Soil is presented in a Piece of Holy Land olive wood box, creating a complete devotional keepsake made for prayer, gifting, and remembrance. The rosary features smooth Holy Land olive wood beads, a Terra Jerusalem Holy Soil centrepiece, a Madonna and Child medal, and a classic INRI crucifix. At 20.5 in (52 cm) and 0.7 oz (20 g), it is light in the hand, easy to pray with, and meaningful to keep close.
Craftsmanship & Design
The rosary is made with 59 elliptical olive wood rosary beads, each measuring approximately 0.3 in (8 mm). The slender bead shape gives the rosary a refined rhythm through the fingers, while the natural grain of the olive wood brings warm golden and amber tones to every decade.
The beads are connected with durable stainless steel links, giving the rosary flexibility and strength for regular prayer. The silver-tone INRI crucifix has a clean devotional form that pairs beautifully with the warmth of the wood and the centrepiece.
Terra Jerusalem Holy Soil Centrepiece
The centrepiece is the defining feature of this rosary. One side features a Madonna and Child medal in silver-tone relief, while the reverse holds a sealed capsule of Holy Soil from Jerusalem marked Terra Jerusalem. This gives the rosary a tangible connection to Jerusalem and the sacred places at the heart of Christian faith.
The combination of Jerusalem Holy Soil, Marian devotion, olive wood beads, and an INRI crucifix makes this rosary especially meaningful for daily prayer, pilgrimage remembrance, and Catholic gifting.
Piece of Holy Land Olive Wood Box
The rosary comes in a polished Piece of Holy Land olive wood keepsake box, engraved with the brand’s praying hands, church silhouette, and script logo. Finished with a brass clasp, the box measures approximately 2.8 × 2.4 in (7 × 6 cm) and provides a lasting place to store, protect, and display the rosary.
Unlike a simple pouch, this olive wood box becomes part of the keepsake itself — suitable for a bedside table, prayer shelf, home altar, or meaningful Catholic gift presentation.
Holy Land Connection & Gifting
Made from Holy Land olive wood and centred around Holy Soil from Jerusalem, this rosary carries a direct connection to the places most cherished in Christian devotion. Each rosary includes a Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its Holy Land origin.
This olive wood rosary with Holy Soil is a meaningful Catholic keepsake for daily prayer, Marian devotion, home blessings, pilgrimage remembrance, and special occasions of faith.
This rosary makes a thoughtful gift for First Communion, Confirmation, RCIA, pilgrimage remembrance, a significant faith anniversary, or anyone who would value a Catholic rosary from the Holy Land presented in a dedicated olive wood box.
Care Instructions
Store the rosary in its olive wood box when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, perfumes, or harsh cleaning products. The Holy Soil capsule is permanently sealed and should not be opened. Wipe the beads, crucifix, centrepiece, and box gently with a soft dry cloth.

Handmade Rosary from Bethlehem Olive Wood
Olive wood has long been part of Christian devotion, especially around Bethlehem, where the trees grow slowly across the hills of the Holy Land. The grain shifts naturally from bead to bead, giving each handmade olive wood rosary its own warmth and character.
Every rosary in this collection is shaped, drilled, and assembled by Christian artisans in Bethlehem, often in family workshops that have practised the craft for generations. Each bead is sanded and finished by hand, with tones ranging from soft honey to deeper amber. Some designs are finished with a simple olive wood cross, while others include a crucifix or devotional centrepiece.
An olive wood rosary is made to be prayed often — kept beside a bed, carried in a pocket, or held quietly during daily prayer. For many Catholics, a handmade rosary from Bethlehem remains one of the most meaningful Christian gifts connected to faith, pilgrimage, and tradition.
Learn to Pray the Rosary
The Rosary has been part of Catholic prayer for centuries, offering a quiet rhythm of reflection through scripture, meditation, and daily devotion.
