The olive tree is synonymous of peace and brotherhood among men. A golden thread that “speaks” of tolerance, generosity, charity and altruism.
The olive tree symbolizes conciliation; a marvellous reconciliation between people in order to know and recognise each other.
From small and medium-sized projects for local development, to meetings and seminars on priority issues for the area.
In Muslim, Jewish and Christian traditions, the olive tree occupies a place of great importance. In the Old Testament there are over two hundred references to the olive tree and olive oil. One of the most important appearances of the olive tree is illustrated in Genesis (8: 8-12), when Noah, after the universal flood, drifting for 40 days, sent a dove to check the consequences on the earth. On the seventh day, the dove brought Noah a green olive branch as proof that the waters had receded, and that God had finally made peace with humanity.

There is many evidence in the New Testament of the role of this plant in the Christian religion. The words Messiah (from Hebrew) and Christ (from Greek) mean “anointed” because in ancient times, only kings were anointed with oil. Moreover, the word Gethsemane, which we normally translate as “garden of olive trees”, actually means “oil press”, and it was in the Garden of Gethsemane that Christ was arrested. In addition, one of the woods that made up the cross of Christ was actually the olive tree.
