“Olive–tree”
Thus the olive tree-the fruit of which is a symbol of light, peace, healing, nourishment, and of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit- lends itself naturally to a representation of a people ordained, even in the councils of heaven, to a mission as vessels of spiritual light and peace and healing and nourishment, and of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to all the world. Such was the covenant God made with Abraham.
