As you can see by the bright blue sky of this summer day this picture of an olive tree was taken on the same day, a little walk further along the olive grove. This one is exposed a little more to the wind as you can see by the way the middle have separated and form almost a kind of leaning pair

✞ Sometimes it is difficult to tell how big an olive fruit is when only seen against its immediate leaf but not in the context or scale of the whole olive tree. Although this is a closeup of olive leaves one can easily discern the approximate size of the fruit amongst all the leaves

✞ Is the Olive a fruit in the bible ? 

• In the bible the olive is consistently presented as the fruit of the olive tree
• the hebrew word for olive is " zayit" which refers specifically to the fruit itself
• botanically the olive is classified as a fruit so yes the olive is a fruit, particularly a drupe, which refers to a type of fleshy fruit containing a single hard seed inside it. The single seed is also referred to as a stone or olive stone
• other drupe fruit similar to olive are cherries, peaches and plums all containing a single stone seed
• botanically true fruit have to develop from and ovary of the olive flower after fertilization , which marks the olive as a true fruit in botanical terms. Fruits in botany are mature ovaries of flowering plants. 
• The olives outer flesh is covered by a thin skin. The flesh covers a hard pit, the olive stone. The stone contains the seed in side of it which will in turn create more olive trees
• The olives main purpose is seed dispersal whereas in a vegetable other plant parts like roots and leaves are used
• so in summary both botanically and biblically speaking the olive is a true fruit in structure, development and uses
• illustrated olive tree symbols and meaning

My Pilgrimage to Saint Frideswide Shrine
Healing Olive Tree in the Bible Garden

✣ On Pilgrimage to Saint Frideswide Shrine at the Christ Church cathedral in Oxford and I got to see a beautifully old specimen of a sacred olive tree . . It was at the center of a prayer bible garden with a small fountain type silent pool with scripture blessings engraved on it 

✣ Healing Olive Tree in the Bible Garden and a small prayerful walkway around the olive tree with places to pause for contemplative prayer when it is not so crowded with tourists.

✣ I was blessed to be able to enter with my pilgrims passport and got a slot where the cathedral was on a quiet break. The season was just right for the olive leaves to have started to drop so I was able to pick a few sacred leaves from the church floor for my sketchbook collage.
