Jesus said “DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME”

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”(1 Corinthians 11:23-25)

Olive trees are an important part of the landscape of central Israel, and are mentioned many times throughout the Bible. Some of the olive trees in Bethlehem are estimated to be as much as 2,000 years old, so olive wood is a piece of history in of itself.

Olive wood carving actually began as a Christian handicraft in the Holy Land as early as the fourth century A.D. for early pilgrims, and some of the descendants of these early craftsmen are still carving olive wood figures today. This carving is not just a simple souvenir, but rather a piece of history that supports a long tradition of Christians living in the Holy Land.
