Our Story
We are Nazareth Fair Trade, a Christian group whose journey began in Galilee, in the heart of the Holy Land. We work closely with Christian families across the region, supporting their craft and helping them continue their way of life.
Through Nazareth Fair Trade, we work with Christian family artisans in Nazareth, the villages of Galilee, Bethlehem, Beit Sahour, and nearby towns. Most of them work in small workshops close to their homes. They make crosses, rosaries, icons, nativity sets, and other items from olive wood, using skills that have been passed down within their families for generations.
Nothing is mass produced. Each piece is shaped by hand, with its own grain, its own character, and its own story. For many of these families, this craft is their main source of income and a way to remain in the places where they grew up.
From the beginning, we understood that this mission could not remain confined to the Holy Land alone. To create lasting support for the families we work with, we stepped beyond its borders and built our base in Sweden. Here, we can work in a reliable environment, prepare every order with care, and ship worldwide without complications. From Sweden, we are able to reach more people and work consistently with our partners.
While the craftsmanship remains rooted in the Holy Land, each order is carefully prepared and sent from Sweden. By choosing Nazareth Fair Trade, you are supporting a Christian mission, sustaining artisans in the Holy Land, and helping preserve a living tradition, one handmade piece at a time.
