Star of Bethlehem pendant with blue enamel in a gift box, a Catholic Christmas gift

Catholic Christmas Gifts: A Faith-Filled Jewelry Gift Guide

The best Christmas gifts point back to the reason for the season. A piece of faith jewelry does exactly that: it is worn every day, long after the wrapping paper is gone, and each time it catches the light it carries the Christmas story with it. This guide gathers our favorite pieces for the people on your list, from Star of Bethlehem necklaces to men's cross rings and gifts for godchildren, all original designs by Marina, designed in the Holy Land.

The Star of Bethlehem: The Christmas Story to Wear

No symbol belongs to Christmas quite like the star that led the Magi to Bethlehem. Matthew's Gospel describes the moment they found it again, resting over the place where the child was:

"When they saw the star, they were overjoyed." Matthew 2:10 (NIV)

A Star of Bethlehem pendant is a gift with the whole Nativity behind it: hope, guidance, and joy at the end of a long search. Read more about the meaning of the Star of Bethlehem.

How to Choose a Meaningful Christmas Gift

Start with the symbol. Each Christian symbol has its own meaning. The Star of Bethlehem speaks of hope and guidance, the dove of the Holy Spirit and peace, the crucifix of Christ's love, and the Jerusalem Cross of the Gospel shared with the whole world. Choose the one that fits the person, or the season of life they are in.

Then the metal. Sterling silver is classic and easy to wear every day. Two-tone and gold-plated pieces add warmth and work well as a more formal gift.

For rings, know the size. If you are not sure, borrow a ring they already wear on the same finger and have it measured, or choose a necklace instead.
