Crosses

Presented as a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice, the Christian Cross is known worldwide as the symbol of Jesus Christ and the Church he founded. Nowhere in La Jolla will you find a more varied selection of crosses than St. James Gift Shop. Made of wood, metal, semi precious stones and even bottle caps, we truly have a cross to grace any home or office.

Nativities

Nativities are the "Greatest Story Ever Told" of the birth of Jesus Christ brought to artistic life. St. James offers nativities from around the world in a variety of mediums. Whether a simple straw figure manger scene made in Africa to a beautiful carving from Poland, these adoring scenes provide a special atmosphere to any holiday gathering.

Icons

For artistic forms as old as the Christian Church, one need look no further than the art of the Icon. Perfected by monks in Europe, these miniature religious portraits, made of wood, egg tempera paints and gold leaf are brought to St. James Gift Shop from Russia, Greece and other far points of the globe. Bring the art of the sacred into your home.

Saints and Angels

Trusted by the faithful as direct links to Jesus Christ and God the Father, images of Saints and Angels adorn churches and chapels around the globe. In addition to books about Saints and Angels, St. James Gift Shop has an international collection of carved figures as well as fine art paintings and prints of the Christian Church’s most revered figures.
