Description
Create a treasured keepsake with an exact scaled replica of your actual handwriting or that of a loved one engraved onto a Holy Land olive wood prayer cross. Prayer crosses, sometimes referred to as holding crosses, palm crosses, or comfort crosses, are individually hand-carved and smoothly sanded from a single piece of olive wood pruned from the olive trees that flourish around the holy city of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus located just south of Jerusalem.
In a world of texts, emails, and artificial intelligence there's something deeply personal about a handwritten message from a loved one. Each stroke of the pen carries a piece of their spirit. Have a handwritten message from a loved one that you want to carry with you?
We pray that the Holy Land olive wood prayer crosses serve as a reassuring reminder that God is with you always and everywhere. As you cling to His promises, we pray that you are comforted by the knowledge that your days are held securely in His hands.
- Measurements: Each olive wood cross is hand carved. The measurements listed below are approximate.
- Small cross: 2.5" x 1.5" x 0.4"
- Large cross: 3.5" x 1.75" x 0.5" - Handwriting Instructions: The engravable area on each side of the cross allows space for a name, phrase or short sentence (think along the lines of 1-3 words per side on the small cross and up to 5 words max per side on the large cross). Handwritten messages are best duplicated when they are created in dark ink. Images should be in focus with a light background. Handwritten messages are best submitted on unlined paper. If necessary, we can extract and combine whole words, phrases, or signatures from different parts of handwritten letters or cards, however, we are not able to extract individual letters to create a new sentiment. Please email your JPEG or PNG file(s) that contains the handwritten message that you would like engraved to [email protected].
- Scripture Verse Presentation Card Options: Six scripture verse presentation card options are available. The Romans 15:13 card is included by default ("May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit").
- Alternate Scripture Verse Cards Include:
- Deuteronomy 31:8-9 - "The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged"
- Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
- John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
- Philippians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."
- Matthew 6:9-13/The Lord's Prayer - "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen." - Quality Standards: We carefully curate and personally hand-select each olive wood comfort cross ensuring that every cross meets AA standards. (AA olive wood crosses feature grain pattern on both sides of the cross and contain no cracks or fills.) Inscriptions are deeply engraved into the olive wood. The engraving is permanent and will not wear or fade away.
- Origin & Significance: Olive trees have been growing in the Holy Land for thousands of years. In an area with few opportunities, the creation of olive wood comfort crosses by local Christian craftsmen supports the families of Christians in the land of Christ.
- Sustainability: The olive wood used to create your Holy Land comfort cross has been harvested from the trimming of the olive wood tree branches. This annual pruning process is designed to improve the overall health and productivity of living trees.
- Packaging: Each order includes (1) uniquely grained Holy Land olive wood cross packaged in a white organza bag and gift boxed for presentation. The olive wood cross is accompanied by a scripture verse presentation card that details the significance and origins of the cross. Additional gift wrap options are available.
- Production Timeline: Once we receive your handwriting image, the lead time to custom engrave your personalized olive wood prayer cross with your actual handwriting is 1-2 days.
