✞︎ Due to the handmade nature of the product each cross might slightly differ.
An olive wood wall crucifix with Four Holy Elements from the Holy Land, including holy soil from Jerusalem sealed within one of its gold-rimmed windows. Measuring 7.1 in (18 cm) tall and weighing 5.6 oz (160 g), this hanging crucifix features a silver-tone corpus beneath an INRI plaque and is sized for a dedicated devotional space.
Craftsmanship & Design
Handcrafted from Holy Land olive wood, this crucifix follows a thorn-inspired design with gently tapered arms and warm natural grain patterns. Each piece displays its own variations in colour, texture, and growth rings, making every crucifix unique.
At the end of each arm, a gold-rimmed circular window contains one of the Four Holy Elements: dried rose petals, olive leaves, holy soil from Jerusalem, and Franciscan incense from Bethlehem. These elements remain visible from the front, creating a devotional piece that combines traditional Christian symbolism with physical connections to the Holy Land.
The silver-tone corpus is mounted in full relief beneath the INRI inscription, creating a clear focal point for prayer and reflection. Each crucifix ships with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Meaning & Symbolism
The Latin crucifix keeps Christ's Passion at the center of Christian devotion, while the Four Holy Elements add deeper layers of meaning connected to the places where the Gospel story unfolded.
The holy soil from Jerusalem recalls the city of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. The olive leaves evoke peace and the Mount of Olives. The rose petals reflect centuries of Marian devotion, while the Franciscan incense from Bethlehem recalls the birthplace of Christ and the tradition of prayer maintained by Christian communities in the Holy Land.
Together, these elements transform the crucifix into a devotional piece that carries both Christian symbolism and tangible connections to sacred places.
Holy Land Connection
Handcrafted from olive wood in the Holy Land, this crucifix brings together materials associated with both Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The Four Holy Elements create a direct connection to the region's Christian heritage, while the olive wood reflects a woodworking tradition passed down through generations of local Christian artisans.
For many believers, a crucifix containing Holy Land elements serves as a meaningful reminder of the places where the Gospel story took place and where Christian faith first began.
Display & Gifting
At 7.1 in (18 cm), this wall crucifix is ideal for a prayer corner, bedroom, hallway, office, family room, or dedicated devotional space. Its larger size allows the Four Holy Elements to be clearly visible while maintaining a balanced and elegant appearance.
A meaningful Christian gift from the Holy Land, it is especially suited for First Communion, Confirmation, baptism, house blessings, weddings, ordinations, pilgrimages, and family devotional spaces. The inclusion of the Four Holy Elements and Certificate of Authenticity makes it a particularly distinctive Holy Land keepsake.
