About the event
The olive tree symbolizes resilience, rooted in history, thriving today, and holding hope for the future.
Matthew 2:23: “And he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.” The connection between the Hebrew word for shoot (netzer) and Nazareth ties the town’s name to themes of renewal and fulfillment of prophecy.
Historical Origin
Olive trees and oil originated in Israel and surrounding regions.
Ancient olive trees in Israel, some thousands of years old, highlight resilience and continuity.
Olive oil played a central role in biblical times: lighting lamps, religious rituals, anointing kings, and as medicine or perfume.
