The Meaning of Olive Wood
Olive wood is a timeless symbol of peace and faith – its roots in the very soil where Jesus walked. Harvested from olive trees that grow near Bethlehem and the Mount of Olives, this sacred wood is steeped in biblical significance. The olive tree is mentioned throughout Scripture as a sign of blessing and endurance, from the dove’s branch in Noah’s ark (Genesis 8:11) to the Mount of Olives, where Jesus prayed before His crucifixion (Luke 22:39). For generations, olive wood has been used to craft sacred artifacts and symbols. Its durability, beauty, and spiritual heritage make it a treasured material for Christian jewelry and devotionals, linking the wearer to the land and legacy of their faith.
