Bethlehem Star Olive Wood Factory
Bethlehem (traditional source for Jerusalem-area olive wood crafts)
Bethlehem Star carves nativity sets, crosses, and rosaries from local olive wood, continuing a trade that traces to the 14th-century Franciscan-run carving school that formalized the craft for Christian pilgrims. Pieces are rough-shaped by machine and then finished entirely by hand in the workshop.
