Pectoral Russian cross from olive

This small wooden cross is a special symbol of faith and protection. It is handcrafted from olive wood from Bethlehem in the Holy Land.

The olive tree is believed to bring peace, patience and blessing, and products made from it have special spiritual powers.

Each cross was blessed on the Stone of Anointing , the place where, according to tradition, the body of Jesus Christ was prepared for burial. This imbues the product with a special grace .
