Hematite Bracelets, Icons and Holy Water/Oil from Bethlehem


Just arrived yesterday! Very unique hematite bracelets that are just beautiful and perfectly priced at $7.50! Also now available are the small anointing sets for $7.00 with a 4.7" crucifix, Jordan River water and Holy Land soil.

I am very pleased that the Jesus the Pantocrator icon is now available as well. This icon is the oldest known one in existence today and is housed at the oldest monastery in the world, St. Catherine's, at the base of Mount Sinai. St. Catherine's is nestled in the midst of a country in turmoil yet, its inhabitants live peaceably with all of its neighbors. It actually has a mosque tucked inside the monastery, however, because it was not constructed correctly and is not aligned to face Mecca, it is never used. St. Catherine's has the largest collection of icons in the world and is second to the Vatican in its collection of codices and manuscripts. I think this is just absolutely fascinating and being a lover of art I can absolutely appreciate the work that the monks do to preserve those precious pieces of history. Although I will never lay my eyes on one of those remarkable original works, at least I can look at a vibrant reprint of them. Visit our icon page at gloryglorygifts.com and get one for your home as well!

We also now have the lovely hand-carved starburst devotional candle holder made of olive wood. Our price for that is $10.00 for one or $18.00 for a pair. They would look beautiful on a coffee table on either side of a plant or in front of a statue or picture on a dresser.

So that is all the news that is fit to print from gloryglorygifts.com. We look forward to having you visit us soon! Have a wonderful day.

Peace,

Mare
