Handcrafted Olive Wood Latin Crucifix from the Holy Land

A classic olive wood Latin crucifix handcrafted in the Holy Land, featuring a silver-tone corpus and a separate INRI scroll plaque mounted above Christ's head. Measuring 7.9in (20cm) and weighing 4.2oz (120g), this traditional Catholic wall crucifix combines clean craftsmanship, natural olive wood grain, and timeless Christian symbolism.

Craftsmanship & Design

Carved from genuine Holy Land olive wood, this crucifix follows the traditional Latin cross form with clean lines and carefully finished beveled edges running along the full length of the cross. The angled edges create subtle highlights across the wood surface, giving the crucifix greater depth and refinement than a simple flat-cut design.

The natural grain of the olive wood remains clearly visible throughout the cross, with warm golden and darker brown tones creating unique patterns in every piece. No two crucifixes are exactly alike, making each one a distinctive expression of the beauty of natural olive wood.

The silver-tone corpus is mounted in full relief and depicts Christ wearing the crown of thorns, with detailed facial features, flowing drapery, and traditional crucifixion posture. Above the corpus sits a separate scroll-style INRI plaque, adding an additional traditional element to the overall design.

Meaning & Symbolism

The crucifix stands at the heart of Christian devotion, serving as a visible reminder of Christ's sacrifice, redemption, and victory over death. For centuries, Catholics and other Christians have displayed crucifixes in their homes as expressions of faith and daily reminders of God's love.

The combination of natural olive wood and the silver-tone corpus brings together the simplicity of the Cross and the profound significance of the Passion. Its classic design allows it to fit naturally into both traditional and contemporary Christian homes.

Holy Land Connection

This crucifix is handcrafted from olive wood sourced in the Holy Land, a region deeply connected to the life of Jesus and the origins of Christianity. Olive trees have long been associated with Scripture, from the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem to the Garden of Gethsemane where Christ prayed before His Passion.

Each crucifix is crafted by Christian artisans who continue the centuries-old olive wood carving tradition of the Holy Land, transforming natural wood into meaningful devotional objects for believers around the world.

Display & Christian Gifting

At 20cm (7.9in), this crucifix is ideally suited for display in a prayer corner, bedroom, hallway, office, family room, or home altar. Its balanced proportions provide a noticeable presence while remaining versatile enough for a variety of settings.

A meaningful Christian gift from the Holy Land, it is especially suitable for baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, weddings, house blessings, RCIA, and anyone seeking a traditional olive wood crucifix for prayer and devotion. It may also be brought to a priest for blessing before devotional use.

Care Instructions
