(CNS photo/Nancy Wiechec) By Nancy Wiechec • Catholic News Service • Posted February 26, 2021 Olives have been cultivated and crushed for oil for at least 2,000 years before the Christian era. Scripture gives no doubt to the abundance of the small bitter fruits in biblical lands. The Old Testament celebrates olive trees as among God’s valued gifts to the faithful of Israel. “For the Lord, your God is bringing you into a good country … a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, of olive trees and honey” (Dt 8:7-8). In Exodus, the Lord instructs Moses to make a sacred balm using olive oil scented with aromatics to anoint the tent of meeting and the Ark of the Covenant.
