Holy Water & Soil
Holy Water, Holy Soil & Sacred Elements from the Holy Land
For centuries, Christians have valued physical connections to the places associated with the life of Christ. Holy Water and Holy Soil from the Holy Land offer a tangible connection to the biblical geography of Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethlehem, and the Jordan River — kept for prayer and devotion or incorporated into devotional objects.
This collection brings together Holy Water, Holy Soil, and items containing these sacred elements, including olive wood crosses, crucifixes, rosaries, and prayer sets from the Holy Land.
Holy Water from the Jordan River & Mary's Well
Our Holy Water collection includes water from the Jordan River, associated with the Baptism of Jesus, and Mary's Well in Nazareth, traditionally connected with the Virgin Mary and the Annunciation. Holy Water may be kept for prayer and devotion, used according to one's Christian tradition, or chosen for occasions such as baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, and house blessings.
Holy Soil from Jerusalem
Holy Soil from Jerusalem offers a different connection to the Holy Land — one rooted in the earth of the city of Christ's Passion, Crucifixion, and Resurrection. Holy soil may be kept as a devotional reminder of Jerusalem or carefully sealed within crosses, crucifixes, rosaries, and other religious objects, allowing a small part of the Holy Land to remain visible within the piece.
Devotional Items with Holy Land Elements
Some pieces bring these sacred elements directly into objects used for prayer and devotion. A crucifix may carry Jerusalem holy soil within its arms, a rosary may contain holy soil in its centerpiece, while a prayer set may combine Holy Water from the Holy Land with an olive wood cross, rosary, or other devotional item.
Whether kept for personal prayer, given to mark a sacramental occasion, or chosen as a reminder of pilgrimage, these devotional pieces create a physical connection to the sacred places of the Holy Land and the Christian traditions associated with them.
