This beautiful statue of St. Francis of Assisi is hand-carved in Bethlehem from genuine olive wood, making it both a sacred symbol of faith and a unique work of art.

In this piece, he is depicted tenderly holding a bird, representing peace and harmony with nature.
 
Each statue is carefully crafted by skilled Christian artisans in the Holy Land, using olive wood sourced from local groves. The natural grain patterns of the wood create warm tones and distinctive markings, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike.
