I’ve never been to Holy Land and the closest best thing I have is this necklace. It reminds me of the nativity cross necklace that you can buy from TV shopping years ago. Of course that time, I don’t have the means to order nor the money to buy it.
Now I have this memorabilia from Holy Land, the pendant holds soil taken by the artist and his wife from Holy Land. Each piece is certified handcrafted by artist, Oren Sagi and yet this necklace only costs me P350 (bought on promo).
My husband bought it for me from the distributor while they were having a marketing activity in Makati. Regular price is around P400. I like the simplicity of my necklace but I just have to be careful not to bump the pendant on a hard surface, plus remember to wear it when going out. I always forget.
You can get the Journey Spiritual Craft pendants in a variety of design (flat, round, or tube shape)
Earth/soil from Holy Land is most meaning to me because every time I plant seeds and till the land – I feel closest to our Lord, my heavy dependence on Him and His providence.
Other necklaces contain water, oil, and mustard seeds (remember the parable). If you’re not keen on necklaces they come in other designs that comes with a spiral stand (P1,750). I purchased one for my mother-in-law and praying for a way to send it to her since she’s in the US.
You can also order from their website, I need to check and inquire if they can deliver within and outside the country. This would be nice especially this Christmas, it’s one of those meaningful timeless gifts that capture the essence of advent. Some say that the very act of bringing a gift from the Holy Land to a person near or far is a deed of unparalleled goodness, bringing the recipient a small piece of the Promised Land, infused with a measure of spirituality.
