I saw these articles about Olive Trees at my friend Peggy's blog. They were very interesting to me.


From Bible History online ~ Olive Tree

Blessings Cathy...Love the pictures of the Olive trees!!! I'm so glad that you enjoyed those links. I especially like the two you have chosen. Kristen's was a little easier for me to read and understand. The dark background of the Bible History makes my eyes strain...but they have such great info. So what did you learn?

My favorite was the symbolism of the olive being abundance & joy!
Look at Van Gogh's painting... quite impressive! Thanks for sharing and passing on good info
always. So glad we're friends and both love music, too!

Sisters in Christ...sending a big hug your way, Peggy
