The
olive tree the millenary tree
The
dove came back to him in the evening, and in his beak was a torn olive
leaf"
(Genesis 8 ; 11)
Olive
oil for the sacred anointment shall be used"
(Exodus 30 ; 24)
A sacred tree, symbol
of hope and divine mercy
It is the first
plant to appear before the eyes of Noah after the flood,
thereby announcing the emergence of land.
An emblem of pureness
and life, the olive is a staple food for the peoples
of the Mediterranean.
In Ancient
Greece, it represented wiseness and symbolized immortality,
because of its strength
It is reborn
after deep freezes that destroyed its parts above ground,
and many thousand-year-old specimens have been recorded.
