Witness to History

The old olive and its brothers in the orchard of the Wisam family from M'ilya, a Catholic Arabs village in the Western Galilee, were witnesses of our Hollyland past for 2,000 years (MM) if not more. We've visited there on Saturday, May 9, 2009 and reached this ancient olives orchard by incident. My heart started beating when I saw the antique giants with their sculptured trunks. They were in full blooming. I simply adore them and the people who take care of them with love - the Wisam family.
