“But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in te loving kindness of God forever and ever.” Psalm 52:8
The olive tree is one of the most familiar trees in the Middle East and it has been mentioned many times in the Bible. Vast areas in the Holy Land are planted with Olive trees and the products that we offer are made of olive trees from Israel where Jesus have lived and walked.
Olive wood carving is an ancient tradition in the Holy Land. It requires intense labor and consists of many stages. The olive trees are pruned every two years so that they bear fruit. After that, the prunings are left to dry and after they are completely dry, they are then taken and a rough outlining of the craft is then done by machines. The most time consuming and essential stage is what comes next; the piece of wood is then passed onto a skilled craftsman who transforms the piece of wood into an artistic beautiful piece of art that carries a lot of history and sentimental value.
