This Large MinistryPack contains 10 HoldingCrosses. The woods chosen for this assortment usually contain the following North American woods : Black Cherry, Black Walnut, White Oak, Pecan, Ash, Red Oak, Sycamore and Soft Maple. Please note the selection is contingent upon what is available at the time of purchase; however, it will be an assortment. Sorry, no substitutes.

Many customers purchase one of our MinistryPacks just to have a few HoldingCrosses available for when the Lord places someone on their heart and there is an opportunity to minister, bless or reach out to someone.

As with all of our crosses, there were no stains, lacquers or preservatives used to finish your cross; only a natural oil which is hand-rubbed and polished to enhance the woods natural beauty. When you hold our crosses, you are “feeling” the wood and “seeing” the wood as God created it. No two are alike as boards will vary in color and graining due the environmental conditions it was produced. The shine on the cross is related to the amount of “resin” in the make-up of the wood itself. The more resin the higher the shine.

Crosses are handcrafted in our Palestine, Texas (USA) facility offering the highest quality. Crosses do not require polishing. Holding your cross will allow the oils from your hands to go into the wood and create a soft, patina glow. Never use oil or olive oil on our crosses.

Each cross comes in an organza bag with a StoryTag telling the name of the wood and a StoryScroll which contains suggested prayers, CareGiving stories and other information. We do not offer seconds or damaged crosses. Our crosses are all first quality and handcrafted in our shop by our family.

... A HoldingCross Story^™ ...

From one of our customers ... I just must tell you that yesterday I received a picture of a dear friend as he was dying. He wasn’t conscious but was holding his cross!!! You probably get lots of similar stories but I hope and pray that they strengthen you as you work so hard on making these wonderful crosses! My sincere thanks and love.

... Another HoldingCross Story ...

Hi Jack & Carol!

Thank you for my latest delivery of HoldingCrosses. I am very pleased with the colors you sent. I am so grateful for your ministry of providing hand made HoldingCrosses. I keep some with me all the time so if someone needs to talk or is having a hard time, I offer them a HoldingCross and tell them it helps to have something in their hand or pocket. Every person I have given a HoldingCross to has certainly appreciated it and many have told me later that it means so much to have the cross.

Seems like lately, there are so many people experiencing difficulties and my inventory was down. So thank you for how quickly you all get an order delivered.

My husband and I both keep our HoldingCross on our bedside stands. Some mornings I wake up and my Cross is in the bed with me! We both volunteered at Hospice for several years after we retired until the Pandemic stopped that. So I was thrilled to discover HoldingCross and have been a customer since! You all do lovely work and I thank you for your gift of love and devotion. 07/31/2025 : North Carolina

MinistryPack Large

Posted by Jerry Larson on 29th Jul 2025

Every holding cross is quality made and nicely packaged. It comes with writings that tell the type of wood, Carol and Jack's Holding Cross story and how the crosses are a gift of love. Years ago, my wife Sharyn started giving these crosses to those God directed her to give one to. Our family is keeping this ministry alive. I feel each holding cross has an embedded message from God, 'I am with you always'.

You have a business that is faith based, and I appreciate what you do and the approach that you take. Your personal service levels have always been high, with warmth and kindness. I know I can count on you to provide my order to be a great blessing to me and to all who receive the crosses. Thank you.

We are a healthcare provider and offer these to our patients. We have a bowl in our lobby for those who enter and would like one. We have been ordering for years and our patients tell us how much the crosses mean to them and the peace and comfort they feel. This is such an easy way to share with others.
