Sale of Olivewood Religious Articles June 8 & 9

Don’t miss the olivewood religious articles sale by Holy Land Art Group after all Masses June 8 & 9. For over 700 years, Christian families in the Holy Land have hand carved these articles. The pandemic and resulting lack of tourism caused a great reduction in their income. Please stop by the display after Mass and consider purchasing an item. Your purchase supports many Christian families. These works of art are made from the trimmings of the holy land olive tree. Trimming is an essential process for the health and growth of the trees. Absolutely no trees are damaged. The Olive wood has a unique beauty and quality not found in any other tree. The gradations, ripples and differentiations of color lines are a result of oil in the wood fibers. It needs very little care.
