Bethlehem Handicrafts continues to provide a platform for the Christian artists of Bethlehem to showcase their beautiful olive wood figurines in these unprecedented times. Amid this storm, our courage and faith has only grown stronger as we continue to fulfil our mission of bringing a part of the Holy Land to your homes, thus giving a helping hand to those Christian artists & their families.
