Walking through Garden State Plaza, you might spot something truly special: hand-carved olive wood crafts straight from Bethlehem. These pieces aren’t just souvenirs—they’re lifelines for Palestinian Christian families facing hardship back home. Each carving, shaped from pruned branches of ancient olive trees, carries generations of tradition and faith. With tourism in the Holy Land down and olive groves under threat, selling these works in New Jersey helps families survive and keeps their heritage alive. What do you think—does owning a piece of this history make the holidays feel more meaningful? #Religion #Bethlehem #OliveWood
