From old ages in monarchic history of lands that are today under the municipality of Bar, olive tree was worshiped as a angel guardian of peace and family heritage.
It was told that a young man can't have a marriage, until he plants at least 25 roots of olive tree on his lands.
And those olive trees need to survive at least one winter. Until he have planted and made that quantity of olives on his lands, he wouldn't got the right to take his bride home ;)
Today it's a little bit tricky, olive trees at first don't take a lot of space, but because of their tree growth, it is essential that they have big space between them. Also the curves on tree aren't made from time, but from small branches that are grown every year from it's mother tree. those low branches would be curved around the tree and they would grow into the main tree, producing amazing curves on it.
Now you could imagine, if a tree needs at least 5m in radius around it, how much lands possess the quantity
of 25 olive trees ;) Now you can imagine that having lands for those trees meant that you can raise a family ;)
In the name of old ages, and big olive tradition on these lands, Olive Festival is something that we are raising like cultural tradition for which good meals are made. Domestic cuisine meals are made and shared among people of all kind, so that they can feel the flavor of old times, our grandmother recipes, flavor of olives, wine and olive oil but also some other domestic flavors like - honey, juice made of domestic roses, roses sweet jam and so on ;)
Here are some photos of that wonderland that was made to last 2 days (from last year ago)..
