Harvesting Olives on the Mount of Olives
This year's olive harvest at the Mount of Olives and the Gethsemane garden took place amidst a ceasefire agreement, bringing a sense of hope for peace.
Monks and nuns have been busy harvesting olives in October, a tradition that occurs in the same location where Jesus prayed, according to the Gospel.
The area has been affected by the Israel-Hamas war for two years, with centuries-old olive trees shaken by missile attacks.
peace that olive branches have symbolized since the biblical story of the dove that brought one back to Noah’s Ark to signify the end of the flood.
The ceasefire agreement has brought a sense of tenuous hope for peace to the Holy Land.
