Olive wood was used to make the Crosses back at the time of Jesus THE CRUCIFIED MAN FROM GIV'AT HA-MIVTAR
Remains of olive wood found between the head of the nail and the heel bone suggest that prior to penetrating the heel bone the nail was driven through a wooden plaque so as to increase the head of the nail thus making it difficult for the victim to free his legs from the upright. Due to the taphanomic process which occurred over a period of 2,000 years the skeleton was in a poor state of preservation. Being friable and fragmentary, with many postmortem breaks, the right heel bone was not amenable for proper anthropological investigation.

All our crosses are hand-made with love by the Christian families in the Holy city of Bethlehem in the Holy Land. They are made from authentic Bethlehem Holy Land Olive Wood. Environment friendly, made from the trimmings of the olive trees, an essential process which allows a new and healthier growth for the trees. No Tree was damaged or destroyed in the process of harvesting the wood.
His branches shall spread, and His beauty shall be as the olive tree"...(Hosea 14:6).
"Out of the ground, the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant for the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Genesis 2:9"

eaching the age of 200 the trunk disappears, shoots develop at the base of the trunk which eventually grow into a new tree, hence the reputation as the immortal tree.B
etween April and June a multitude of small, white perfumed flowers appear in groups under the preceding year's leaves. They only last a few weeks. One olive is born for about 20 flowers. Normally the first flowering only takes place after about 8 years.T
he Olive Tree has both a sentimental and religious significance to all nations and all religions. In the Old Testament, olive oil was used to anoint prophets and kings, and to light the lamps at the temple of Jerusalem, the house of God. For nourishment, healing, cleansing, lighting, and symbolic purposes, olive oil was important.L
ater in the New Testament, Jesus Christ was described as the "Anointed One" the Messiah, Christians were called Nozreem or Masseheen, which in Aramic and Arabic means anointed with olive oil. Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan who used oil for healing.W
hen Jesus went to Jerusalem, he went up to the Mount of Olives where he prayed
and taught his disciples the word of God. The agony of
our Lord was in the midst of many of these olive wood trees in the Garden of
Gethsemane where He prayed asking His Father, "Let this cup pass from me but not
My will but Yours be done."

ut of great respect, the people of the Holy Land protect (at times with their lives) the trees refusing to ever cut them down. In the middle of October, the people of the Holy Land pick the olive fruits to either press them and get the olive oil or to make olive to eat and cook.O
nce the oil has been pressed out of the olives what remains can be used to make pure olive oil soap. This reminds us of how Jesus was pressed down in pain in the Garden as He prayed and how His expressed love for people cleanses and washes away the sins of the world.O
nce the olives have all been picked it is time to cut the branches and begin the pruning process. These sacred and holy olive trees require that we use hand saws only because of the danger electric and gas saws inflict upon these trees.I
n the Holy Bible, Jesus spoke of pruning that, there might be stronger life.He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes [15:2 The Greek for prunes also means cleans.] so that it will be even more fruitful. --John 15:2
I
n the Book of Genesis the dove sent out from the ark by Noah returned with an olive branch (Genesis 8:11). Here it became the great symbol of peace, indicating the end of God’s anger.A
ccording to old wisdom... "the olive tree stands as a perfect personification of man's historical memory on earth. It is the tree with the highest endurance and fruitful capacity. It is the sign of peace between God and mankind.
