Olive Wood Jersualem Cross from the Holy Land
The Jerusalem cross — sometimes called the Crusader's cross or the Pilgrim's cross — carries a meaning all its own. The large central cross surrounded by four smaller ones has long been read as the four Gospels going out into the world, or as the wounds of Christ.
Few Christian symbols feel so tied to a place, or to the institutions that have grown up around it. The design is the official emblem of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, and Franciscan friars use it across the Holy Land to represent the Passion of Christ. In the Old City you'll find it engraved into stone walls and set above the doors of Christian institutions, where it's often known simply as the Holy Land Cross.
Each cross in this collection is hand-carved from olive wood by artisans working close to those same streets and churches. Some designs include mother-of-pearl detail at the centre; others rely on the wood alone. It remains one of the most lasting Christian gifts to bring back — or send — to someone who has made the journey or hopes to one day.
