The Branch Divides Olive Tree, Paris France

'Olive tree' came to mind a few days ago and in particular to find an image. Guided to discover this olive tree. Did someone try to destroy it....or did that form as natural branches? 



The old olive tree is situated new Pont du Gard in France.

Learning more about this particular tree, it dates back to 908 AD, Previously to this location, it was planted in Spain and transported and replanted 1988 in France in this location

Is there something exceptional about this particular tree?

The Olive Tree is a life giving tree. The olive is it's fruit. Olive oil also being used in different ways, on skin, cooking, baking, also in the ancient time lighting the lamp. 

 With effort to transport the tree from one geographical location to another, perhaps there is something special about the tree that has so much history. It will hold many memories too.

The Olive Tree is also associated with Athena and Athens, Greece in history. With the olive tree living memory of Athena this is not meant to fade away to be forgotten so easily either. 

It is not known 'if God' planted other olive trees, or people planted seeds to grow. Many new trees are growing naturally on land regarded as God's Garden locally. Trees grow from seed.

In France, the Tour de France is a well known cycle race. This year launched from Yorkshire and with the channel tunnel going from England to France. This was surely a decision to connect lands with the Queen (QEII) also being Duke of Normandy. Creating cycle tracks are planned agenda.

What is shown above in this tree are two branches from the same tree. Both fruitful and this being an ancient tree. Trees are associated with families. This tree has a long life too.

There has been in the news recently of Amal Clooney in the return of the Acropolis Marbles. It was made known that numerous requests for their return has met with fob offs and excuses.

Perhaps we are meant to read between the lines.

In the ancient times, while the Acropolis was the seat of God's government on earth, this is where Justice was administered accordingly. In the UK the court is corrupted blatantly/

In France there is the Eiffel Tower - also Statues of Liberty's.

If we can understand the historical significance of Athena and the Olive Tree, then we might be able to consider that Athena and Jesus were somewhat connected in some way too.

Jesus Christ went to pray alone on the mount of Olives, israel. 

Discovering through my Greek grandmother, 'the Virgin had a home up on the hill close to where they lived - in Smyrna (Now Izmir). Greeks identify The Virgin, referring to the Virgin Mary.

With olive trees in abundance, in Greece, there are others that have grabbed the attention of the curious as to why they are destroyed. Olive trees can live for thousands of years.

The reminder of the ancient olive tree, invites us to consider the ancient times and what happened in that time. When we do not have facts to draw from, symbolic relics that are remaining, are a reminder. Museums around the world have artifacts from thousands of years ago.

The significance of the Olive Tree is not being denied but what we are also being shown with this particular tree, there is a French connection with Spain too. 

Being partly Greek French and Spanish.....I could not ignore that snippet of detail.

There is a designer label named 'French Connection' too.

What if....all these little details with symbolism and names are revealing another message of some truth that remains under a mask until a time for the truth to be revealed openly?

We will never know.....we can only speculate.

But better to focus on the facts...the mind easily runs away and with distractions too. Just there are some snippets within articles over the years that made me wonder...is there more to this.

There might be...but for today this is enough.

Peace be with you
