Description:
Sense the fragrance of colorful olives in broad daylight to enjoy God’s presence.
Background: It is said that the phrase "to offer someone an olive branch" is to make peace with someone. In the biblical context, it was an olive-branch which the dove brought back to Noah when the Flood was over. An olive tree possesses peace, fruitfulness, purification, strength, victory and reward. And old legend tells that Christ's cross was made of olive-and cedar-wood.
Psalms 52:8 says, "But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercies of God forever and ever."
