Olives have, through out history, been seen as a symbol of abundance, glory and peace. This was demonstrated by Ancient Greek athletes who ritually rubbed olive oil over their bodies as well as using leafy olive branches to crown the victorious warrior in bloody battles or the winning contender of friendly sports. Biblical stories also tell of Olive Oil being offered to the noblest of heads throughout history.
