A Symbol of Peace by beverley365

A Symbol of Peace

As a symbol of peace, the olive branch dates back to the 5thcentury B.C.

An olive branch is prominently displayed on the Cypriot flag, and this symbol can also be seen on numerous police badges and patches across the world to signify peace.

When we hear the phrase, “to offer someone an olive branch” we are really saying, “to make peace with them.”

A nice shot and timely reminder
