Olive is sacred in every religion

The history of the olive tree is as old as the history of humanity. The white dove that Noah sent after the hurricane to see if the world was in order returns with an olive branch in its mouth. Since then, the olive has been considered a symbol of peace, tranquility and order.

Medicine symbol branch

Have you ever wondered what the double serpent staff symbol of medical science is? The stick here is an olive branch.

Immortal tree

In the famous Iliad, Homer ages in an olive tree. The olive tree says to itself, "I belong to everyone, I belong to no one, I was here before you came, and I will be here after you leave." In this story, the olive tree is thought to be immortal and its roots symbolize immortality.

In fact, an olive tree can live up to a thousand years. In some studies, 2000-year-old olive trees have also been found. One of the reasons for the longevity of the olive tree is the oleuropein substance in its leaves. This substance helps to protect the olive and olive tree.

Evergreen

Have you ever seen the olive tree in summer or winter? If you notice, olive trees have evergreen leaves in summer and winter. Leaves usually do not fall and newly emerging leaves turn green instead of those that have fallen.
