Altar Crosses & Standing Crucifixes

Handcrafted Altar Crosses and Standing Crucifixes from Bethlehem

Faith Within Reach — Not Just On Display

A standing cross or altar crucifix occupies a different space in faith life than a wall cross. It sits at surface level — close enough to hold during prayer, present on a desk through the working day, central on a home altar during morning devotion. Its presence is immediate and intimate in a way that a wall cross, however beautiful, cannot be.

Every altar cross and standing crucifix in this collection is carved by hand in Bethlehem by Christian artisans using olive wood from ancient Holy Land groves. Each piece stands independently on its base — stable, balanced, and designed for daily presence rather than occasional display.

For Home Altars and Prayer Corners

A standing crucifix is the natural centrepiece of a home altar — placed at the centre, with candles, a rosary, and sacred images arranged around it. Our altar crosses range from small intimate pieces for personal prayer spaces to larger standing crucifixes designed to anchor a dedicated prayer room or chapel corner.

A Personal and Meaningful Christian Gift

Standing crosses and altar crucifixes make deeply personal Christian gifts — intimate enough for a bedside table, significant enough for an ordination or consecration. Popular for baptisms, confirmations, First Communions, and housewarmings. Every piece ships with a Certificate of Authenticity.
