Olive Wood Misbaha Prayer Beads: A Symbol of Faith and Craftsmanship

Handcrafted from the finest Jerusalem-Bethlehem olive wood by skilled Palestinian artisans, these Misbaha Prayer Beads (also known as “Misbaha” or “Masbaha,” مِسْبَحَة) beautifully combine spiritual meaning with timeless artistry.

Comprising 33 rounded olive wood beads, this Misbaha holds profound significance:

• For Christians, it symbolizes the age of Jesus Christ, who lived 33 years.

• For Muslims, it plays a key role in the remembrance of the 99 names of God (اللّٰه‎), traditionally recited by going through the beads three times.

Beyond their sacred purpose, these prayer beads are deeply woven into Palestinian culture. They are cherished not only for prayer and meditation but also for stress relief and as an integral part of celebrations, including the lively Dabke (Dabka) dance at weddings and festive occasions.

With their natural beauty, smooth texture, and cultural resonance, Olive Wood Oasis® prayer beads are more than just a tool for spiritual reflection—they are a genuine piece of Palestinian heritage, uniting the faith traditions of both Christians and Muslims.

Whether for prayer, meditation, or as a meaningful gift, these handcrafted beads embody the spirit, artistry, and sacred traditions of Palestine.
