Holy Land Souvenirs was established in 1903 by Joseph Tabash, my great-grandfather, who started in Manger Square selling olive wood rosaries, camels, nativity scenes, and other souvenirs. He then started making his olive wood designs and his business was among the earliest known souvenir businesses in Bethlehem. We are now the third generation in this business, and we ensure that all items in our catalogue are made in Bethlehem and the surrounding villages.
