The composition celebrates the Holy Family as a model of faith and mutual respect—a reminder that holiness grows within the everyday rhythms of home and work. Carefully carved expressions, flowing garments, and the wood’s rich natural grain give this small sculpture remarkable depth and warmth.


Standing 6.7 inches tall on a rectangular mahogany base, this piece brings a meaningful presence to a prayer corner, mantel, bookshelf, or bedside table. It makes a thoughtful wedding, anniversary, Christmas, or housewarming gift, honoring the sacred bonds of family life.


A Bethlehem carving legacy since 1958

Since 1958, the Facouseh family has elevated the art of olive wood carving. From their historic workshop on Manger Street near the Church of the Nativity, Jeries Facouseh continues the family legacy with his sons Jonathan, Andre, and Mark, alongside a skilled team of artisans. Traditional hand chisels and meticulous attention to detail transform seasoned olive wood into expressive works of sacred art.


Authentic wood, thoughtfully sourced

Carved from 100% genuine Holy Land olive wood, each sculpture begins with wood sourced exclusively from annual seasonal pruning of Bethlehem’s ancient olive orchards. No living trees are cut down for these carvings. The wood is naturally dried and cured for years before carving to improve stability and help reduce the risk of cracking. Its distinctive, swirling grain ensures that no two sculptures are identical.
