The Bethlehem Nativity, 12-Piece Olive Wood Set

Every Christmas, this is the scene your family gathers around. The Holy Family, the shepherds, the three wise men and the animals are each carved by hand from olive wood in Bethlehem, then finished with natural beeswax so the honey-and-cream grain glows in candlelight.

No two sets are alike. The wood's grain, the carver's hand and the tree itself make each figure one of a kind. It arrives in a keepsake gift box with a signed certificate of origin, ready to be handed down for generations.

• 12 pieces in all, the stable and 11 hand-carved figures, so the whole story is there for children and grandchildren to tell
• Carved from olive branches pruned at harvest, so no tree is ever cut down
• Natural beeswax finish that deepens in color over the years
• Signed certificate of origin from our Bethlehem workshop

Shipping policy · Returns & refunds

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Once or twice a year, rub in a little beeswax or olive oil to keep the grain rich. Keep away from radiators, fireplaces and long hours of direct sun.
