Artisan Handcrafted Faith Hope Love Twist Ballpoint Pen - Carob Wood from Bethlehem - Made in USA
Crafted with authentic Carob wood from Bethlehem, this pen was made with great care and meticulous attention to every detail here in our wood shop in Cedar Hill, Texas. St. John's Bread in ancient times was from the fruit of the Carob tree and the Carob seed was used as the original weight by goldsmiths which we now refer to as Carats when weighing gems. "Faith" "Hope" and "Love" are intricately cast into the center band and the pen top features attractive cross designs. The Cross on the tips and clips are reference to the Fleur-de-lis. In the Middle Ages the symbols of lily and Fleur-de-lis overlapped considerably in Christian religious art. The three petals of the heraldic design reflect a widespread association with the Holy Trinity. Here we are using the three to symbolize the virtues of Faith, Hope and Love. The braided rope detail reinforces the concept of trinity, with a braided rope being made from three separate stands into something much stronger.
A cyanoacrylate (CA) finish protects the wood providing one of the most durable protective finishes for use on pens. The wood barrel has been polished to an ultra-smooth glossy shine that feels great in your hand with the silky feeling finish. It uses Parker style ballpoint refill which is included (black, medium). Includes gift box as shown.
