The set includes an olivewood crucifix with silver corpus, Holy Earth, Holy Incense and Olive Oil from the Holy Land of Bethlehem, and Holy Water from the River Jordan.
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. (Psalm 52:8)
The olive tree is native to the Holy Land since ancient times, when its oil was used for nourishment, healing, the anointing of prophets and kings and as fuel for the temple lamps in Jerusalem.
Today, Christians in Bethlehem carve their cherished olive wood to remind us of Jesus, Mary and the story of our salvation.
