Blessed Abstract Holy Family in Hand

This piece’s strength lies in its subtlety and poignance. Carved in the olive-wood from Bethlehem, it is an abstract interpretation of the Holy Family.

Mary with her veil and Joseph to the right of her lean over a circle in their middle that represents baby Jesus. The way in which Mary and Joseph curve slightly towards the center convey their protection and willingness to sacrifice for the life of Jesus, cradled in the nest between them.

Each member of the Holy Family melts into one another and into the base of the statue itself. This symbolizes familial love, warmth, and divine connection.

A hand with a heart carved into four fingers is depicted, symbolically demonstrating God’s love and the importance of family values. It is the understated detail of the figures that allows the beauty of the olive wood to truly shine.

This piece is best for those looking to add a subtle yet firm reminder of divine love to their home, workplace or altar.
