Mount of Olives Treasury began with two hearts rooted in the Holy Land and now beating in the heart of New York. A Palestinian couple, born and raised among the stone paths of Bethlehem, grew up surrounded by olive trees, sacred traditions, and the quiet strength of their Christian faith -- Manar and Aseel.

 

As life led them abroad, the longing for home became stronger. But it wasn’t just about missing places — it was about missing purpose. They saw the beauty of the Holy Land fading from view for many around the world, especially as tourism declined and families back home struggled.

 

So, they decided to carry the Holy Land with them.

 

In their apartment, Mount of Olives Treasury was born — not as a business, but as a mission. To bring handcrafted pieces from the Holy Land to people around the world. Each cross, each nativity, each bead — not just a product, but a prayer, a story, a piece of home.

 

They work directly with Christian families in Bethlehem and Jerusalem, ensuring every purchase becomes a blessing — both to the buyer and to the artisan.

 

This isn’t just a store. It’s a bridge. A way to carry the sacred stories of the land where Jesus walked, to every home that longs for hope, meaning, and a connection to something eternal.
