Exclusive unique Christian art, gifts, & decor hand carved of olive wood in the Holy Land. Supports the work of families in Bethlehem.
About this Event

Exclusively Bringing the Market of unique Christian gifts to you from the Holy Land! The works of this community of 8 Christian families at the Shepherd's Field near Bethlehem has never been to the states until this mission! Due to war and stoppage of Christians' ability to go on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, our mission is to support their business and message of Christ through their handiwork by bringing their market here for you for a few local pop-up shops this season only.

Special Skills! The craftpeople's handiwork of olive wood carving skills was taught to them by the Franciscan missionaries over 800 years ago and passed down through the generations.

Christians are less than 1% in all of the Holy Land! Our support of their work allows them to remain there financially even though they continue to face intense persecution for centuries to keep Christianity alive in the Holy Land where Christ was born, walked, and performed miracles. Find special items for loved ones or your favorite spaces to express our faith. These make great gifts for birthdays and special occassions such as weddings, births/adoptions, promotions, new home or office, and especially for Christmas being made right where Christ was born!

Meet Tony & Tony! We will have 2 very special visitors chaperoning these rare crafts. Young Tony is a crafstman member of the families from the Shepherd's Field. Elder Tony is from Jerusalem and a leader from the familial tribe of Benjamin. He is a licensed Christian pilgrimage guide with a background in archaeology and military service. He has volunteered to come on this mission to help connect their Christian community and market with ours. Both of them will be answering questions & discussing the Holy Land and the crafts! Come say hello, learn, shop, and find a great gift or a few!

Special Thank You to April Hill and her studio for sharing your space and heart for this mission! Yoga Studio 90 is located near I-10 at 17650 Highland Rd, Suite A.
