With wings extended and the devil beneath his feet, this Saint Michael the Archangel olive wood sculpture captures a powerful image of courage, protection, and the triumph of good over evil. The dramatic composition celebrates God’s authority over Satan and the victory of divine light over darkness.


Hand-carved by Bethlehem’s Facouseh artisans, the sculpture features finely defined feathers, detailed armor, and carefully shaped figures. Deep folds and layered carving give the scene movement and dimension, while the olive wood’s warm tones and swirling grain lend each piece its own distinctive character.


Standing 7.25 inches tall on an oval mahogany base, this sculpture makes a striking addition to a prayer corner, mantel, bookshelf, or office. It is a meaningful devotional gift for someone seeking encouragement, honoring Saint Michael, or celebrating a confirmation or other milestone of faith.


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 carefully seasoned wood into expressive works of sacred art.


Authentic wood, thoughtfully sourced

Each sculpture 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 rich, individual grain patterns ensure that no two sculptures are identical.
