{"product_id":"olive-wood-jesus-cross-necklace","title":"Olive Wood Jesus Cross Necklace from Bethlehem","description":"\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted from \u003cstrong\u003eBethlehem olive wood\u003c\/strong\u003e, this distinctive \u003cstrong\u003eJesus Cross necklace\u003c\/strong\u003e places the name \u003cstrong\u003eJESUS\u003c\/strong\u003e directly within the form of the cross. The lettering is cut through the wood, allowing the background and light to remain visible through the name while keeping the cross itself as a single devotional design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant measures approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1.4 × 0.8 in (3.5 × 2 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e and hangs from a \u003cstrong\u003e13.8 in (35 cm) black braided cord\u003c\/strong\u003e. The warm natural grain of the olive wood remains visible across the cross, giving every necklace its own individual appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7530;\"\u003eJesus at the Centre of the Cross\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than adding a separate figure or inscription to the surface, this design integrates the name \u003cstrong\u003eJESUS\u003c\/strong\u003e into the cross itself. The open lettering creates a strong visual relationship between the name of Christ and the central symbol of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is simple and immediately recognisable: the Cross and the name of Jesus presented together in a lightweight olive wood necklace designed for everyday Christian wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7530;\"\u003eThe Name of Jesus\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cem\u003eJesus\u003c\/em\u003e comes through the Greek form of the Hebrew and Aramaic name \u003cem\u003eYeshua\u003c\/em\u003e, associated with the meaning \u003cstrong\u003e“the Lord saves.”\u003c\/strong\u003e In Matthew's Gospel, Joseph is told to name Mary's child Jesus because “he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe New Testament also gives the name particular devotional significance. Philippians describes God as giving Christ “the name that is above every name,” connecting the name of Jesus with Christian worship and confession of faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7530;\"\u003eHandcrafted in Bethlehem\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis necklace is handcrafted from \u003cstrong\u003enatural olive wood in Bethlehem\u003c\/strong\u003e, the city traditionally honoured by Christians as the birthplace of Jesus. That origin gives the design an especially fitting connection: a cross bearing the name of Jesus made in the city of the Nativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOlive wood has distinctive variations in colour, grain, and markings. Because these natural patterns differ from piece to piece, every necklace has its own individual appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7530;\"\u003eA Christian Necklace for Everyday Faith\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe direct combination of the \u003cstrong\u003ename of Jesus and the Cross\u003c\/strong\u003e makes this necklace suitable for Christians looking for a simple, visible expression of faith. It can be worn for prayer, church, retreats, pilgrimage, or as an everyday devotional necklace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt also makes a meaningful Christian gift for birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Confirmation, First Communion, Baptism, or other important moments in a person's faith journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7530;\"\u003eSize \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePendant size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 × 0.8 in (3.5 × 2 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRope necklace length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.8 in (35 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural olive wood\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cross with open JESUS lettering\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bethlehem, Holy Land\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the olive wood pendant dry and avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, lotions, or household chemicals.
