Olive Wood Jesus Crucifix Pendant (Necklace)

Made in Bethlehem.

Over the years, the olive has been the symbol of peace, wisdom, glory, fertility, power and pureness. The olive tree and olives are mentioned over 30 times in the Bible, in both the New and Old Testaments. It is one of the first plants mentioned in the Bible, and one of the most significant. For example, it was an olive branch that a dove brought back to Noah to demonstrate that the flood was over. The Mount of Olives east of Jerusalem is mentioned several times. It is believed that The Return Of Jesus Christ will occur on The Mount Of Olives. The Book of Jacob 5, in regard to the scattering and gathering of Israel, compares the Israelites and gentiles to tame and wild olive trees. The olive tree itself, as well as olive oil and olives, play an important role in the Bible.
