Olive Wood Cross: Bring Divine Spirituality to Your Home

Article by Frank Vidal

Without a doubt hand carved Olive-Wood-Crosses have been acknowledged to beautify homes of great number of families. Olive wood crosses look incredible and add divine spirituality to your home. The religious symbolization of these crosses makes an exquisite statement to your home. What is really appreciated about this Holy item is how it brings out the spirit of Jesus when it is hanging on your wall.

There are two reasons why people would like beautiful Olive wood displaying in their home.

1. To feel the special love our savior Jesus had for all of us when he sacrificed himself on the cross for our sins. A sacrifice that no normal man can possibly endure much less the son of God.

2. The expert craftsmanship of an authentic Olive wood cross hand made in the Holy land of Jerusalem. Personally crafted religious wooden crosses are very much in demand by men and women that want a piece of a holy item made in the place where it all happened.

The Olive tree is a small but very long living species of tree. Olive wood is hard, heavy and strong with high overall density. In Jerusalem, in which they are very plentiful, are one of the first trees to be cultivated for agricultural purposes. The tree is famous for its fruit along with the oil that is produced from it. The high quality wood is used for building furniture and is a favorite among carpenters.

Olive wood is significant, to many Christians, because our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross made of this kind of wood. It was on this cross that he pleaded to god when he said "Forgive them Father they know not what they do." Luke 23:34. He also proclaimed "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise" Luke 23:43. The significance of the crucifixion is that, he took on the sins of man on himself, with the brutal suffering that he received from the vicious beatings and his eventual crucifixion. The Romans always had the person to be crucified carry the wooden cross on which they will meet their f! ate.

In conclusion purchasing a Olive wood cross or other authentic Jerusalem handmade products are a very personal and faithful decision that many families are making. Having a piece of the Holy land is a blessed way to connect with your own spirituality and to God.

Lunar effect, Pholus synastry and Chiron-Ascendant

Scientists have studied the effect of the full moon and they found that there were less births in the weekends:). The old belief that there are more children born when the moon is full, has been proven wrong. In our days, children are born between 9 and 5 from Monday to Friday, if the doctors had it their way. It is more convenient and it can be done without harming the mother or the child, so why not. But now I will never know if there would be a natural tendency for more births at Full Moon (not all, just some more). Maybe it is not so, not even in the middle of the jungle without electricity or doctors. Who cares about the position of the moon, anyway, these days?  I remember that I was on the road at night. I parked and watched a partial lunar eclipse (a cloud hanging before the moon) and I noticed that nobody noticed. They were eating, drinking, checking tires, walking dogs, going to the toilets...but nobody was staring at the sky or pointing at the moon to tell their childr

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are certain aspects of your life you used to find distressing that you now find merely interesting. The facts are what they are, and you have little emotional attachment to them. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don't like to admit when you're wrong and being slow to do so will serve you well. You're not the only one responsible for what has happened. Take a moment to review all sides. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The conventional wisdom suggests that the past cannot be changed, and yet, since it exists in your mind, it changes all of the time. The way you view your history will transform yet again today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're more likely to believe what is entirely, outrageously incredible than buy into the boring truth. This is a good quality now, as a bit of strange fantasy will fuel your motivation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are not in the mood to compromise. You won't sell out your own interests, and you feel the same

Transit Pholus in Sagittarius

Image
Pholus is an asteroid, a small object that pops up in a chart as the catalyst. Transit Pholus often reflects the small and insignificant but irrevocable  trigger point. But what starts as a tiny thing can grow out of proportions, like the sudden rise of an X-factory star.  Susan Boyle,  for example, has Pholus on MC. Her career certainly has a point of no return.  Pholus moves through Sagittarius. What happens when transit Pholus is conjunct the natal sun in Sagittarius?    TRANSIT PHOLUS ON SAGITTARIUS SUN In a few days (just before Xmas 2012) transit Pholus will be conjunct my Sun in 19d53 Sagittarius for the first time and more hits will follow in 2013. I'll pay special attention to those days of transit Pholus. It might be that someone or something will silently and slowly start changing my life. Or that someone's death will. Or... maybe nothing happens. I'll let you know and I am curious about your experiences. Many Sagittarians had transit Pholus on their Sun
