Experience the timeless beauty and spiritual significance of our standing crucifix, handcrafted from smooth polished Olive Wood sourced from Jerusalem and Bethlehem, where olive trees have grown since the time of Christ. This crucifix encapsulates the profound moment of suffering, triumph, and victory for every Christian, bringing a powerful and sacred presence to any room it graces.

This stunning handmade religious cross is meticulously crafted by Christian craftsmen with an unparalleled level of talent and passion. Each piece is hand-carved, showcasing the skill and dedication poured into its creation. It serves as a remarkable expression of faith and devotion, bringing both beauty and a holy atmosphere into your home.

Every cross is truly one-of-a-kind, owing to the natural variations found in the olive wood. The unique grain patterns and warm tones add a touch of natural elegance, ensuring that your crucifix is a singular work of art. It carries with it the legacy of the Holy Land and serves as a profound connection to the rich spiritual heritage it embodies.

We offer this standing crucifix in two distinct styles, allowing you to choose the one that resonates with your preferences and intentions.

Style 1 features a silver crucifix (corpus) and a single glass in the middle of the cross, adorned with a star-shaped glass containing flowers from Jerusalem. The product size is 11" x 7", with a base of 3" x 3".

Style 2 presents a wooden Jesus corpus carved with exceptional detail, accompanied by four small glasses containing sacred relics. The right-side glass holds Olive Leaves, the left-side glass contains Incense, and the top glass holds stones from homes damaged in war. These relics symbolize the earthly realm that Jesus walked upon and serve as a poignant reminder of His suffering on the cross. This style measures 16" x 10", with a base of 4.5" x 4.5".

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. Display it with pride and reverence in your home or gift it to someone special, allowing this remarkable piece to bring inspiration and a sense of sacredness into their lives.
