「耶穌」十字架
“Jesus” Cross
~12cm

由伯利恆的工匠以當地橄欖樹材製作，裁出英文「耶穌」字樣的十字架。

十字架是基督教最重要的標記，代表著上主犧牲的愛。用來釘死耶穌的十字架，是一世紀佔領著聖地的羅馬人所用的酷刑。根據新約記載，耶穌的死和復活讓我們的罪得赦免、與神和好（羅馬書五8），而十字架亦因此轉化成生命與愛的標記。

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

This cross with “Jesus” cut out is made from locally sourced olive wood and crafted by artisans in the Bethlehem area.

The cross is the ultimate symbol of Christian faith, communicating the sacrificial love of God. The cross Jesus died on was an instrument of torture used by the Romans occupying the first-century Holy Land. According to the New Testament, Jesus’ death and resurrection made it possible for us to receive forgiveness of our sins and reconciliation with God (Romans 5:8). The cross is thus transformed into a symbol of life and love.

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
