Wooden Cross Necklace

This wooden cross necklace was hand carved by a Jerusalem artisan from olive wood and blessed on the Stone of Anointing at Jerusalem’s Temple of the Holy Sepulcher.

 

What should the cross necklace look like? — Most experienced preachers will agree that it should be the simplest of all. That is to say — it should only display the person’s devotion to Christianity, without drawing too much attention and avoiding distraction from daily routine. According to Church Fathers, a Christian striving to walk with God is himself a temple of cross, and a cross necklace that he wears is an expression of his faith. 

 

Despite its deceptive simplicity, this cross necklace from Jerusalem invisibly unites the man with the Holy Land – the place in which Jesus Christ, Apostles and prophets lived and preached.
