Olive Wood Candle Holders, hand carved from Bethlehem

Working with local artisans from Bethlehem, these beautiful tea light candle holders are hand carved from sustainably sourced olive branches, after pruning and drying. The candle holder is rich in veining and colour from the olive bark, making each piece beautifully unique.

These handcrafted candle holders create jobs through empowerment by providing a steady income to Palestinian artists and their families. The skill of hand carving is a trade that has been passed through generations, and offer a source of economic sustainability in an area challenged by oppression. 

We are proud to partner with these talented artists to address the income generation needs of families living in Bethlehem while highlighting the ancestral and cultural heritage of their homeland through craft-making.
