Olives have been grown in the region for thousands of years and have become an integral part of Palestinian culture and cuisine. Olive trees are often considered a symbol of steadfastness, resilience, and connection to the land among the Palestinian people. The olive harvesting season in Palestine typically occurs in the late autumn, between October and November. During this time, communities come together to pick olives in a practice known as "olive picking" or "olive harvesting." This communal activity strengthens social bonds and fosters a sense of unity among Palestinians.
