Genesis 8:11
...and the dove came back to him in the evening,
    and there in its beak
was a freshly plucked
olive 
leaf;
    so Noah knew  that the waters

had subsided from the  earth.


An ancient manuscript, the Bible, tells us where and how an olive branch in the mouth of a dove originated as signs of peace. A cataclysmic event had come to its end and Noah is about to embark from the ark he built with his own hands to see what life will be like thereafter. From wars to climatic changes, we are experiencing global cataclysmic events in our midst. Do they need to end before we extend an offer of peace and unity via an olive branch?
