耶路撒冷十字架
Jerusalem Cross
~16cm

耶路撒冷十字架遍佈在聖地各處的旗幟、徽章和教堂尖塔之上。這件精美的工藝品由伯利恆的工匠以當地橄欖樹材製作，並鑲嵌了來自聖地的芬香、石子、花瓣、木材和土壤。

十字架的形狀具有重要的歷史和屬靈意義——大的十字架代表耶穌，四個小的代表馬太、馬可、路加和約翰四本福音書，亦代表福音走向地的四角——世界各地。

耶路撒冷十字架就像在呼籲世界各地的基督徒在各城各鄉傳講主耶穌的話，告訴世人上主的愛已透過他獨生子的受難和復活彰顯於世，成就主託付給眾人的大使命——使萬民作他的門徒。

註：這些十字架是由不同的工匠以天然橄欖樹材製成，每一個都獨一無二，實物形狀及色澤亦因此會跟照片有所出入

The Jerusalem cross is seen on flags, crests, and church steeples throughout the Holy Land. This particular woodwork is made from locally sourced olive wood and crafted by artisans in Bethlehem, it also includes inlaid precious incense, stones, flower petals, wood and soil from the Holy Land.

The shape of the cross carries deep historical and spiritual significance. The large cross represents Jesus. The four smaller ones represent the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – going out to the four corners of the world.

The Jerusalem cross urges Christians everywhere to spread the word of Lord Jesus all over the world. It reminds us of God’s love through the crucifixion and resurrection of his only son, and to fulfill his Great Commission – Go and make disciples of all nations.

Note: Due to the nature of olive wood and the individuality of the artisans and their processes, every cross is unique and differs slightly from the picture posted
