Olive Wood Rosaries
These beautiful rosaries are hand made in
Bethlehem and Iraq by the Catholics in
Palestine and the Chaldean Catholics in
Iraq.
In 1980 20% of the total population in the
Holy Land was Catholic and Christian. Today,
because of persecution and harassment of
Catholics there is only about 3% to 5%. With
the region in turmoil and persistent
suicide bombings the tourist trade is simply non-
existent. Accordingly these beautiful
rosaries have a very little market in the world
today.
However, we at the Knights of Columbus,
Church of the Risen Christ, Council #13,301
Our Lady of The Luminous Mysteries, have
taken on the marketing effort to help these
battered people. In our ministry to help
them, we will be selling the rosaries for a
minimum mark-up for our charity fund so
that we can create a “pipe-line” of sales for the families in
Bethlehem and Iraq. It is our prayer that the Knights of Columbus in
Colorado and the merchants in Colorado
will get behind this ministry to give hope and encouragement to our fellow
Catholics in these war-torn countries.
