Hand carved in wood by artisans in Ukraine, this cross is sent to us by our friend Kyrylo Cherniak in Lviv, in western Ukraine. We've been doing what we can these past three years, since the war began, to support the artisans there, and purchasing these pieces from them feels to us like the best way we can make a positive impact on the folks who live there.

Made of two pieces of wood mitered together at the crux. The top surface of the crucifix is carved by hand. About 9" tall x 4 1/2" wide. There is a hole in the back for hanging on a nail. No two are alike. Handmade in Ukraine.

Update March 6, 2025: THANK YOU for your support of our fundraising efforts on behalf of our friend Kyrylo Cherniak and the Ukrainian artisans he works with. Between our purchases of these artisan goods and your transactional support in purchasing them, we've been able to send nearly $6,000 since the Russian invasion of Ukraine to Kyrylo in support of those artisans and in support of Kyrylo's efforts in helping his fellow citizens of Lviv and other parts of Ukraine in their time of crisis. We're in touch with Kyrylo as often as he can write. His most recent correspondence was received in January, 2025. He is, for the first time, thinking of leaving Ukraine, and this breaks my heart, to see the destruction of his country, his home.

When you purchase the items that Kyrylo sends to us, it translates into real support for real people who are just trying to make a living and to make the best of a terrible situation. It is all we know to do, all we know to help. We thank you immensely.  –– John & Seth, Convivio Bookworks
