This explains so much. ♥ ♥ ♥ Amulets, Blue Beads and Olive Oil: The Palestinian Fear of the Cold By Ali Qleibo "Olive oil is fraught with mystery and used with sanctimonious care. Olive trees have an almost titanic resistance, a vital force, which renders them virtually immortal. Despite harsh winters and burning summers, despite truncations, they continue to grow, bearing fruit that nourishes, heals, inspires, and amazes. Sun, stone, drought, silence and solitude: these are the five ingredients that create the ideal habitat for the olive tree. No wonder it has been chosen as the symbol of Palestine. Deep in the heart and the mind of every Palestinian, the olive tree is synonymous with the mythical mother earth."
