Wood of Grace exists for women whose faith is not naïve, not new, and not simple anymore.

We began with a basic observation: most religious products talk as if life is easy and faith is uncomplicated. They’re designed for first communions, youth retreats, or sentimental gifting. But the women who actually carry parishes on their backs, and carry their families in prayer, are often in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. Their spiritual life is marked by:

• love and disappointment,
• answered and unanswered prayers,
• loyalty to the Church and anger at it,
• children who stayed and children who walked away,
• trust in God mixed with silence from God.

We wanted to create something honest enough for them.

So we turned to Jerusalem olive wood, not plastic, not coated in glitter, not mass-produced in anonymous factories. Our rosaries are carved by artisans in and around the Holy Land, using wood from pruned olive branches. Each bead carries:

• the irregular grain of a real tree,
• the warmth of wood that changes slowly with touch,
• small imperfections that mark it as alive, not synthetic.

There are no gimmicks: no flashy colours, no slogans, no spiritual clichés on the packaging. Just a tool for prayer that respects the complexity of the woman who holds it.

Wood of Grace is built on three commitments:

1. Depth over decoration
   We design for the interior life, not for display. Each piece is meant to be used, carried, worn down by fingers and years.
2. Honesty over sentimentality
   We don’t pretend your faith is always easy, or that buying a rosary fixes anything. We offer a companion for nights when you can barely say, “Hail Mary,” but can still move bead to bead.
3. Dignity over exploitation
   We work only with partners who pay fair wages and respect local communities. Your prayer tool shouldn’t be built on somebody else’s suffering.

Wood of Grace rosaries are made for the woman who has seen enough of life to know cheap things don’t last, spiritually or materially.

They’re not for show.

They’re for the long, slow work of praying through a complicated life.
