The majestic olive tree is a staple of the Palestinian economy. It provides the olive, olive oil, olive oil soap, and the wonderful olive wood carvings that Bethlehem has become known for. Craftsmen in the Bethlehem district make over 1000 products from olive wood, including a large variety of Christian figures, crosses, rosaries, candles, and vases. Olive wood carving has become the most important tourist craft in Bethlehem. Click to see Olive Wood carvers at work. This link will open in a separate window.
