The olive branch is a symbol of peace and victory associated with customs of ancient Greece and connected with supplication to gods and persons in power. It is found in most cultures of the Mediterranean basin and became associated with peace in the modern world.

One of the most enduring symbols for peace, the olive branch has been used by various cultures, religions, political movements, and individuals to communicate harmony and reconciliation. Like many traditional emblems, the association has ancient roots, and dates back thousands of years.

One of the oldest mentions of the olive branch as a symbol of peace can be found in the Bible, in the Book of Genesis, in the account of the Great Flood. Accordingly, when the dove was sent out from Noah's ark, it returned with an olive branch in its beak, which suggested that the floodwaters were receding, and God had made peace with mankind.
