I got this Olive leaf in 1970 from the Garden of Gethsemane. It's from one of the ancient trees that were more than likely alive when Jesus was there.
At the same time we bough this cross made of Olive wood from some Nuns in the old city of Jerusalem. We'd visited the Nunnery (or whatever it was called) the day before when we had a guided tour through the city, following the route Jesus took while carrying his cross.
Mum and Dad wanted to go back the next day but said they'd never find the way through the narrow streets, being 7 years old this wasn't a problem to me and I led them straight to it
