The Subject
Sometimes called a comfort cross or a life cross, it has no corpus and no ornament, only a shape that fits the hand. It is often given to someone who is ill, grieving, or far from home.
The Making
Sanded and polished until the grain is silky, with gently rounded edges so it can be held for a long time.
Chosen by the house from the workshops of the forty Bethlehem families it works with, and sent to you from Old Caritas Street.
Every order leaves Bethlehem within 48 hours, sent by EMS Express Mail Service. Your tracking number is emailed to you the day the parcel is handed over.
Because each piece is packed and sent by hand from the Holy Land, we do not accept returns or exchanges once an order has shipped. If anything arrives broken, email a photograph to info@saint-michael-store.com and we will send a replacement.
