The Olive Wood of Jerusalem is the symbol of Eternal Life.

The Olive Tree grows in the Holy Land and can survive for up to 2000 years. Jesus prayed in Gethsemane near an olive tree, some say it still lives today (Mat. 26:36). In the Bible, Noah sent out a dove from the Ark to find dry land and the dove returned with an olive branch.

Oil from the olive trees was used to anoint priests, prophets and kings to empower them as well as to pray for their healing.
