Olive and Easter

Olive Tree: Symbol of Easter and Rebirth



It is beautiful to associate the word Easter with rebirth and renewal, this celebration in fact represents the transition from a phase of nature's lethargy (winter) to a phase of life and awakening (spring). How many times in our lives have we felt this need? The emblem par excellence of this period is the olive tree : a centuries-old and majestic plant, with a very strong symbolic value, in fact, it is the archetype of renewal, change, rebirth, peace and the vital force capable of regenerating new life.


In the Christian religion, the olive tree has many symbols. The oldest is that of the Old Testament: after the universal flood had subsided, a dove brought Noah an olive branch to announce that the earth and the sky had been reconciled. The olive branch is therefore a symbol of regeneration, because, after the destruction caused by the flood, the earth began to flourish again. At the same time, it also became a symbol of peace because it attested to the end of punishment and the reconciliation of God with men

In ancient Greece They considered the olive tree a sacred plant and used it to make crowns for the winning athletes of the Olympics. In Greek mythology, it is also said that the goddess Athena offered it to the Athenians as a sign of peace after defeating the god Poseidon.
