Bethlehem Handicrafts
December 11th &12th after all Masses
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.
With absolutely no tourists allowed in the Holy Land since March of 2020, the majority Christian families have not made any income. We have taken it upon ourselves to do whatever it takes to make these unprecedented times seem less painful to our Christian families back home, to give them the courage and belief that, even in the most difficult of times, we will all prevail and pass through this together.
