The unique story of John Pierson

From the beginning, human civilization has been identified with the tree and its fruits. Even before the man-gatherer learned to cultivate, the tree provided him with easy food, while later he provided him with timber for the construction of tools, houses, ships, fibers for his clothing, roots for medicinal use.

In the stories told around the first people by fire, the world was presented in the form of a huge tree, which either rested on the ground and reached high in the sky or was again an inverted tree with its roots resting on the universe. 

The fruit of the tree became a sacred symbol, songs and circular dances began around the trees. The tree was converted, deified, became a symbol of birth and renewal of life, the androgynous union. It was considered to contain the secret of eternal life and in the myths a dragon appeared standing next to him and guarding the fruit. Thus, Hercules stole the apples from the Garden of Hesperides under the nose of the dragon guard, while Jason killed the snake that guarded the tree with the golden fleece.
The "sacred tree" of the olive tree held an important place in the tradition of Greek culture.
