OLIVE TREE
The olive tree is the symbol of plenty, justice, peace, more...victory, wisdom, and rebirth.
The olive tree grows slowly, like a human. Seed, sprout, then sapling, it matures, shunning shade and moisture, and keeps its slivery grey-green leaves year round. It loves the Mediterranean, the Aegean, the South. In spring, it produces tiny, delicate yellow and white blossoms with a light scent all their own. The flowers turn into fruit, growing larger and maturing towards end of summer.Autumn is time for harvest. After a long productive life, the body withers, but new shoots spring green form the roots, becoming a new tree.
It is said that there are two trees in the Paradise: the fig and the olive. The fig the 'Tree of Truth' ; the olive the `Tree of Life'. As in the oldest known reference in Latin to the olive, which is also mentioned in the Old and New Testaments as well as the Quran: ¡¨Oles prima arborum omnium est¡¨(The olive is first among all trees).The olive tree, symbol of holiness, plenty, justice, health, pride, victory, prosperity, wisdom, intelligence, purity, and rebirth-all the important human virtues.
