Mediterranean Decorating with Olive Branch Wreaths and Fruit
Wreaths are used as holiday adornments, as welcoming decorations for front doors and as center pieces for dining tables. Like many Mediterranean symbols, the olive branch wreath finds its origins in ancient civilizations.
The Greeks were crowning Olympic champions with olive branch wreaths as early as 700 BC. Since Olympic games were held only in times when neighbor nations were not at war, the olive branch became the symbol of peace and plenty. Through the generations the olive branch became the symbol of success and vitality.
