"Isn't this the carpenter's son?" Matthew 13:55
 "Is
not this the carpenter, the son of Mary." Mark 6:3
O' Little Town of Bethlehem, well known as a place for artists
and spiritual power, is the city of Jesus birth and the cradle
of peace.
Throughout the years, The Church in the Holy Land used art
to teach the word of Jesus to people. Art became the peoples'
Bible.
The olive wood handicraft art began in Bethlehem in the fourth
century following the creation of the Church of the Nativity,
which was built on the traditional birthplace of Jesus. At
the time, Monks taught the handicraft trade to the local Christian
residents and the olive wood carving process. This processes
was then passed from one generation to another and was perfected
and mastered; thus continuing the ancient tradition of beautiful
and exquisite olivewood carvings in the Holy Land.
It is said that when Jesus worked as a carpenter he carved
olive wood.
 HLCS
promotes this long-lived tradition of the people of the Holy
Land. To learn more about this art and please contact us.
