Bethlehem Olive Wood Nativity Crib

Hand-carved in Bethlehem from olive wood, this nativity holds a natural presence. The wood is smooth and warm, its grain running softly through shades of gold and honey. Each line follows the slow life of the tree beneath sun and rain. No two pieces are the same. Each one is shaped patiently by the maker’s hands. The scene is open and bright. Mary and Joseph lean toward the child beneath a wide star, their figures carved with gentle curves. A shepherd stands nearby, his posture humble, and a small lamb rests at the base of the palm. To one side, a simple bell tower rises from the wall. All parts are carved steady and unhurried, following the old ways of the craft. This nativity rests easily anywhere, beneath a Christmas tree, on a windowsill touched by morning light, or near a space of prayer. Wherever it stands, it brings warmth, peace, and the calm of that night.
