Olive Wood Holding/Comfort Cross for a Child with Velveteen Bag - Made in Bethlehem This is a beautiful hand carved olive wood cross. It is deliberately uneven, in order to fit into a child's hand more comfortably than a correctly shaped cross would do. It will come with a velveteen bag - colour chosen at random and comes with a card with an explanation on one side and Psalm 23 on the other. It will develop its own natural patina as it is held and handled over time. Hold it and take comfort from it. It is the perfect companion for your prayers and meditation. It has been said that sometimes it is enough simply to hold the cross silently  this is itself prayer. If you or someone you know is ill simply holding the cross may be the best way to pray. It comes with a certificate of authenticity, and an explanation card with Psalm 23 on the reverse. Approx. size : 9.5 cm x 5.5 cm x 1.5 cm
