On August 4, we will have a special presentation and display about Christians of the Holy Land. More than 70% of the Christian Community in the Holy Land depend upon tourism as their only source of income. Christians have been enduring many hardships as tourism in Bethlehem and Jerusalem has plummeted. The Holy Lands Christian population has gone from 30% to less than 1%. Many are turning to other ways to make a living, especially handcrafted olive wood.
Holyland Christian Solidary Cooperative is an organization that is helping our Christian brothers and sisters living in the war-torn land. They will share the plight of Christians. There will be many beautiful olive wood religious pieces that we can purchase to help them. The carvings are handmade by Christian families from Bethlehem who rely on it for their daily bread. These items are sure to become favorite displays in your home and will assist Christians.
