耶西之枝十字架
Shoot of Jesse Cross
~18cm

由伯利恆工匠以當地橄欖樹材製作的十字架。十字架的背面有掛勾，方便垂掛。

這個十字架帶出以賽亞書中耶西之枝的意象——從耶西的殘幹必長出嫩枝，他的根所抽的枝子必結果實。耶和華的靈必住在他身上，就是智慧和聰明的靈，謀略和能力的靈，知識和敬畏耶和華的靈。他必以敬畏耶和華為樂；行審判不憑眼見。（賽十一1-3）

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 is made from locally sourced olive wood and crafted by artisans in the Bethlehem area. The cross has a small hook on the back for hanging.

This cross brings to mind the shoot of the stump of Jesse – A shoot shall come out from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. (Isa 11:1-3)

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
