Holy Land Gifts for Your Family in the Philippines

Working far from home and want to send something meaningful to your loved ones? Here are gift ideas from Jerusalem that carry faith, not just a price.

1. A Jerusalem Rosary — $15

A handcrafted rosary with a Jerusalem cross centerpiece, made in the Holy Land and scented with a Holy Land fragrance. A simple gift for a mother, a lola, or a child’s First Communion.

2. Holy Sepulchre Blessed Set — $23

Holy water, incense, oil and soil from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem — the church built where Christians believe Jesus was crucified, buried and rose again — in one keepsake box.

3. Anointing Oil Fragrances — $33

Five oils — Nard, Rose, Jasmin, Myrrh and Amber — for prayer and blessing at home. Read more about anointing oil.

4. Jerusalem Braided Blessing Candle — $20

A hand-braided candle in an ornate box, inscribed with the blessing from the Book of Numbers: “The Lord bless you and keep you.”

5. A prayer at the Western Wall — from $23

A gift you cannot hold, but your family will never forget: their names, written by hand and placed in the Western Wall, with a photo or video as proof. See how it works.

Or give everything together

The Complete Blessing Bundle includes all five — a Western Wall prayer with video proof, the rosary, the Holy Sepulchre set, the anointing oils and the candle — for $104 instead of $123.
