At Christian Crafts, we believe that a gift from the Holy Land is more than just an object; it's a tangible connection to faith, history, and profound spiritual significance. To deepen this connection, we are honored to offer a unique service: the blessing of your purchased items on the revered Stone of Anointing in Jerusalem.
This sacred practice transforms your chosen piece into a truly blessed treasure, imbued with the spirit of the Holy Land. But what is the story behind this ancient stone, and why does it hold such immense power for believers worldwide?

The Sacred Story of the Stone of Anointing

Nestled within the hallowed walls of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the Stone of Anointing is one of Christianity's most poignant and venerated sites. Tradition holds that this is the very spot where the body of Jesus Christ was laid after His crucifixion, prepared for burial by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus.

It was here, according to ancient belief, that His body was anointed with oils and spices before being placed in the nearby tomb. The magnificent mosaic above the stone vividly depicts this solemn moment, showing figures gathered
around the body of Christ, preparing Him for His final rest.

While the current slab of pink limestone was installed in 1810 after a fire, its significance lies in the unbroken tradition and the countless prayers offered upon it for centuries. It is a focal point for pilgrims who come from across the globe to touch, kiss, and pray over this sacred surface

Historical and Theological Significance

The Stone of Anointing represents one of the most emotionally powerful moments in Christian history. According to the Gospel accounts, after Jesus was taken down from the cross, His body was wrapped in linen cloths with spices, as was the Jewish burial custom. This stone marks the traditional location where this sacred preparation took place.

For nearly two millennia, Christian pilgrims have venerated this site, understanding it as a bridge between the earthly suffering of Christ and His glorious resurrection. The stone serves as a tangible reminder that even in death, Christ was treated with love, dignity, and reverence by His followers.
