FROM NICOLA CANAWATI TO HIS SON MAHER; THE INSPIRATION CONTINUES TO GLOW! WE ARE ON THE GROUND SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE “LIVING STONES” IN THE HOLY LAND
Holy Land Roots is a non-profit branch of The Three Arches Souvenir Shop in Bethlehem that is considered to be one of the very first souvenir shops in Palestine founded by the late Nicola Canawati. The souvenir shop has the widest selection of biblical symbols and products that include traditional handicrafts, such as olive wood, Mother of Pearl and ceramics, a wide range of the finest gold, silver, pearl and diamond jewelry, along with our collection of ancient precious icons.
Continuing the journey of his late father, Maher Canawati has been contributing 10% of the shop’s monthly profit to support the Christian community of Bethlehem, focusing on: scholarships to students, medical care, renovating needy people’s homes, creating job opportunities to Youth and Women, and supporting several initiatives within the Christian community of Bethlehem. The Three Arches as well has an online shopping platform that automatically deducts 10% of its sales to Holy Land Roots, where the profit is contributed to the work we do.
Since this charitable work has brought great outcomes to the people we have always helped, we have founded Holy Land Roots in 2023 as a local Palestinian non-profit Company in order to reach out to more families in the Bethlehem region where all the donations are put at its right place, as well as to be able to reach more donors who believe in the importance of the existence of the first Christians of the world, here in the Holy Land!
