A Bethlehem carving legacy since 1958

The Facouseh family has elevated the art of olive wood carving since 1958. At their historic workshop on Manger Street near the Church of the Nativity, Jeries Facouseh continues this tradition with his sons Jonathan, Andre, and Mark, alongside a skilled team of artisans. Traditional hand chisels and meticulous craftsmanship give each sculpture its refined detail and expressive warmth.


Authentic wood, thoughtfully sourced

Each piece is carved from 100% genuine Holy Land olive 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. Distinctive grain patterns ensure that no two sculptures are identical.
