At PHLG, our products are created with great care and respect for the olive tree branches that grow in Bethlehem. We ensure that no trees are cut down for their wood; instead, we use dried branches that have naturally fallen. The process of transforming olive wood into a crafted piece involves labor-intensive stages, requiring multiple skilled craftsmen. Each piece goes through a meticulous six-step process that can take several days to complete.

Olive wood's exceptional qualities make it ideal for carving, and our artisans employ simple hand tools and boundless imagination to bring each piece to life. Depending on the complexity of the product, the process can take up to 45 days, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship. The natural color and tonal depth of olive wood further enhance its beauty, adding to its timeless appeal.

Embrace the significance and craftsmanship of our standing crucifix, a testament to faith, devotion, and the enduring spirit of the Holy Land.
