History Lesson!
The
olive branch
is a branch of an olive tree.
In Western culture, derived from the customs of Ancient Greece, it symbolizes peace or goodwill.
From the Book of Genesis, a white dove carrying an olive branch is a sign of peace.
After the great flood, in order to find land, Noah released a dove three times. On the first trip, the dove returned with nothing, indicating that the waters had not yet receded. On the second trip, the dove came back carrying an olive leaf in its beak (Genesis 8:11), which informed Noah that God had taken mercy on humanity and caused the flood to recede and physically showed there was some earth now above water level. The third trip is when the dove does not return to Noah, showing the waters have abated completely and the dove has found a home of its own to reside. God then caused a rainbow to appear in the sky
as a symbol of his covenant with mankind never to destroy the earth by water again.
