Olive Wood Standing Cross

$49.99

A standing olive wood cross is the gift to reach for when you want something for the home that almost any Christian household can receive. It is hand-carved from Holy Land olive wood, simple enough to sit anywhere, and it carries meaning without asking the recipient to share a particular tradition.

Who it suits

A safe and welcome gift for a baptism, a wedding, or a new home, and one that travels across Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant households without needing adjustment. The olive wood origin gives it a connection to the Holy Land that most recipients appreciate.

One thing to keep in mind: it is a decorative keepsake, not a devotional object, so it suits someone who will display it rather than someone looking for something to hold or pray with. Because it is handmade, size and grain vary.

Where to buy

Frequently asked questions

Will it look exactly like the photo?

No, and that is the nature of it. Each cross is hand-carved from natural olive wood, so the grain, color, and small details vary piece to piece. The one that arrives will be similar, not identical.
