Facouseh Our Lady of Grace Olive Wood Sculpture, Virgin Mary, 7 Inches
With arms outstretched in welcome, this Our Lady of Grace olive wood sculpture offers a tender expression of Mary’s maternal care and mercy. Her open hands evoke her intercession and the grace of God, while the serpent beneath her feet symbolizes triumph over evil.
Hand-carved by Bethlehem’s Facouseh artisans, this portrait of the Virgin Mary features a serene expression, finely detailed garments, and flowing folds that reveal the carvers’ skill. Rich natural grain runs through the olive wood, bringing warmth and individual character to this devotional piece.
Standing 7 inches tall on an oval mahogany base, Our Lady of Grace makes a meaningful addition to a prayer corner, mantel, bedside table, or desk. A thoughtful gift for a Marian devotee, a mother, or someone celebrating a sacrament, it offers a lasting reminder of faith, comfort, and loving care.
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 bring expressive beauty to every sculpture.
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. Its distinctive, swirling grain ensures that no two sculptures are identical.
