We are called to reform our lives, to stand in the presence of God as religious people.

''God will know us by the sign of the Tau marked on our foreheads. (Prophet Ezekiel 9:4)

''Tav'' is the last letter of the alphabet in Hebrew, which represents the totality of a person's life.

It symbolizes the cross of crucifixion.

St. Francis of Assisi was especially fond of it as a symbol, signing correspondence with it in place of his own signature.

The Olive Wood of Jerusalem is the symbol of Eternal Life

The Olive Tree grows in the Holy Land and can survive for up to 2000 years. Jesus prayed in Gethsemane near an olive tree, some say it still lives today (Mat. 26:36). In the Bible, Noah sent out a dove from the Ark to find dry land and the dove returned with an olive branch.

(The dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit).

Oil from the olive trees was used to anoint priests, prophets and kings to empower them as well as to pray for their healing.

While known for its sturdiness, it is a beautiful wood with grains of colors from pink to black; the older the wood, the darker the colors.

Each item is unique because it is Hand Made.

This is a quality product imported from the Holy Land. It may have slight variations in colors, shape, lines or bubbles.

These are not defects but characteristics of the nature of hand-made products.
