Olive Wood Crosses
The Olive Wood of Jerusalem is the symbol of Eternal Life.
The Olive Tree grows in the Holy Land and can survive for up to 2000 years.
Jesus prayed in Gethsemane (Mat. 26:36) near an olive tree, some says, still exists today.
In the Bible, Noah sent out a dove from the ark to find dry land and the dove returned with an Olive branch. (The Dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit). The Olive tree has been highly admired since ancient times and was proclaim as a blessed tree. The people planted olive trees in various parts of the Holy Land to spread its cultivation.
The oil from the olives was used to anoint priests, prophets and kings to empower them
as well as to pray for their healing. While known for its sturdiness, it is a beautiful wood with
grains of colors from pink to black; The older the wood the darker the colors.Check out our Selection in the "Holy Land Crosses and Crucifix" section.

Take Time to Smile.

It was the day after Christmas

at a church in San Francisco.

Pastor Mike was looking at

the nativity scene outside

when he noticed the

baby Jesus was missing from the figures.

Immediately, Pastor Mike turned

towards the church to call the police.

But as he was about to do so,

he saw little Jimmy with a red wagon,

and in the wagon was the figure of the

little infant, Jesus.

Pastor Mike walked up to Jimmy and said,

"Well, Jimmy, where did you get the little infant?"

Jimmy replied, "I got him from the church."

"And why did you take him?"

With a sheepish smile, Jimmy said,

"Well, about a week before Christmas

I prayed to little Lord Jesus.

I told him if he would bring me

a red wagon for Christmas,

I would give him a ride around the block in it."

I Said:

Write it on your heart

that every day is

the best day of the year.

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
