Exquisite wood carvings, among them many nativity figures that make fine, one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts. A variety of lovely small items too, very reasonably priced, such as medals and rosaries. Kind owners who are talented artists, carrying on centuries old tradition.

I purchased a beautiful olive wood Nativity music box from Bethlehem Handicrafts at our local parish. In 2019, I visited the Holy Land and I found the exact same nativity music box for sale in Bethlehem for more than twice the price! I love Bethlehem Handicrafts not only for the beautiful products they offer but also that I am able to support artists in the Holy Land with my purchase.

My husband and I bought a crucifix and Pieta from the Bannoura family. They are both so beautiful. I look at the Pieta while Im praying and you feel you are right there with the Holy Mother and Jesus. The expressions, postures, and tiny details are so lifelike.

George, the owner, was extremely helpful! He helped me pick out the perfect cross necklace for myself and was tremendously friendly! We spoke about his home city of Bethlehem and the struggles of keeping a small business open during a pandemic. If you support small business, support this one!

Purchased a carved statue of Mother Mary with Christ in her lap after the Crucifixion. Everyone who has visited my home. compliments the statue and its quality. I purchased in Israel however after my return, visited the store in Colorado. Like my statue, everything in the stored had more beautifully carved goods. The quality is so good and reasonably priced for the work they do. Owners are so friendly, and full of joy. Will certainly shop here for gifts for Christian friends and family.

I purchased a few items from Bethlehem Handicrafts and absolutely love them. The craftsmanship is AMAZING!!! I havent seen talent like this is in a long time. Almost like from a bygone era. I can see the care and love given to each piece. The olive wood used is so pretty and the grain of the wood is really highlighted in each piece. The staff were so kind, knowledgable and really took the time to help me with my purchases. I purchased a Crucifix for my house and a pair of praying hands as a gift for my daughters birthday. I highly recommend this store and their products.

Review №29

Ever since I went to the Holy Land two years ago, I have been searching for a place that sold statues comparable to what I saw on my pilgrimage. When you buy at this store, not only do you obtain an authentic olive wood handcrafted item, you also get to support the Christian families still living in Bethlehem. It’s hard to find a shop with quality that compares to this one. I love this place and I will most definitely be back to shop here!!!

Review №38

What a beautiful shop! On my first visit today (there will be more!) Mike served me and told me a little bit about the families in Israel that their shop supports by offering these exquisitely carved, one of a kind sculptures from the native olive wood in Bethlehem.If you want something really special for your loved ones this Easter, forget the chocolate bunnies! Come to Bethlehem Handicrafts for a work of art celebrating the life and Resurrection of Our Lord!And meet *Aki* the American Akita who is a kind as the owners, and very lovable. (Don’t worry, Mike and George will ask if it’s ok to let him meet you- otherwise he stays in the back)

Went to this shop with a group. The owner is very nice. I bought a one of a kind nativity, hand carved of olive wood. I would have never spent that much money on something like that but it is magnificent. I also still order from there because they offer great quality olive wood carvings, most are unique and very practical gifts. The owner was very knowledgeable and shared how to properly maintain your carving so it could be kept looking beautiful after long term use (light washing, oiling, ect). I was very picky about the wood grain in my carving and the owner was very helpful by digging through his storage stock to find some other carvings to select from. I highly recommend

They have a beautiful selection of wood statues and lovely rosaries. All of their rosaries have soil from the Holy Land in them! I would reccomend going to them for gifts, or even for yourself. I went in there yesterday not knowing what to expect and the staff is very welcoming and is willing to go above and beyond to help you. It was a wonderful experience and I will definitely be going back

Absolutely Great!I came in here looking for Crucifix type merchandise, and what I found was Very pleasantly surprising.This store is exactly as it seems.The Gentleman in here was Very nice and accommodating as a person.He has a very thick accent, which (nothing weird intended) was quite pleasant.The Items in here are both from and hand crafted in Israel.Hell say The Holy Land, which is exactly what Israel is...from what Ive been taught.Beyond the story of Religionisms...These Handcrafted Items are Unique and Very beautiful.There is more in the Background concerning their design (like the reason for the facelessness) of some of the items.But, fear not. These definitely look and feel extremely authentic.Personally, Im not even concerned with where they come from (though I trust they come from Israel).The beauty of the items in this store are quite mesmerising.And the price is great, especially considering what hes selling.Im sure youll enjoy this as much as I did just walking in.

I have purchased beautiful handmade items from the Bannoura family of Bethlehem Handicrafts for over a decade and I have never been disappointed! The craftsmanship is superb and the attention to detail is unparalleled. The Bannoura family is talented, hard-working and trustworthy. You will be blessed by meeting any of them. Orders can be placed online on their spectacular website or now you can pick out items in person at their new store which is filled with incredible olive wood carvings, jewelry, pictures etc.directly from Bethlehem.

It all started with a crucifix. From there, our family collection grew. Next a rosary, then our first masterpiece! St George, our sons patron saint, is an incredible work of art, not to mention very difficult to find! Then more pieces...a small cross, a hand cross for my grandson, a wall crucifix for my daughter. Then a second masterpiece! St Francis, my husbands patron saint. Then a third! Our beautiful, double sided table crucifix. And Guadalupe! But, we were still missing something. My patron saint, St John the Evangelist. I spoke with George Bannoura about carving one for me. I just received it. I got goosebumps, I cried. He is stunning. The detail that goes into these carvings is beyond words. The Bannoura family are truly blessed craftsmen. The care that must be exercised while working on these beautiful pieces, is evident the moment you first lay eyes upon one of their pieces. They do not create wood carvings, they give you a family heirloom, to be handed down through the generations. These are pieces that take months to carve, not something turned out with a mold or a programmed machine.Thank you so very much George, for what you and your family do -bringing the love of God into our homes.God Bless the Bannoura familyCindy Deplitch
