Today was Peace Day, and the later years (Year 5&6) moved on to Greece as part of their Around the World project. The children looked at the symbol of the Olive branch. In Greek tradition, olive branches represent peace. The plant was considered sacred to the ancient goddess of wisdom, Athena. An Olive wreath was also given to the winners of the Ancient Olympic Games.
The motif of an olive branch can also represent "hope for peace" and even a peace offering from one person to another, as in the phrase "extend an olive branch"
Below are some of our Peace Day prayers
