With the variations of myth and history about its origin and origin, the olive tree is considered a sacred tree, a symbol of wisdom, peace, abundance, hope, glory and triumph. It nourished the poor farmer in years of hardship and gave material strength to the olive-producing landowner and the merchant, contributing at the same time to the economic development and cultural progress of the society. It served as a medicine against diseases and wounds, and was constantly involved in the worship of God, burning within the sanctuaries its oil, the primordial source of light. It beautified the vigorous bodies of athletes and the curves of women, crowned the winners of the Panhellenic and Olympic games, always pointed the way to peace and the solidarity of peoples.
A unique book about the rich history and unknown traditions of the two greatest symbols of the Greek land.
