Thessaloniki: Seven centuries-old olive trees “take root” in the municipality of Evosmos-Kordelios – Newsbomb
Seven centuries-old olive trees find a place in the modern city, with the transplantation carried out by the Municipality of Kordelio Evosmos in an equal number of common areas of the municipality.
The first of the olive trees, which is also centuries old, was placed symbolically in front of the modern Multifunctional Center on Monastiriou Street. Along with the other six who will be transplanted – as the municipality states in a statement – “they will continue their journey through time, in an investment that highlights the ancient symbolism of rebirth and light, peace and wisdom”.
The perennial olive trees, which are delivered after a relevant request of the Municipality of Kordelio Evosmos, are part of the action of “ERGOSE SA” to rescue them, a program of particular environmental importance that financed by the Green Fund. These are olive trees that have their roots in the depths of the centuries with enormous botanical, aesthetic and ecological value and which were transported from areas within the expropriated areas, where they were carried out for the expansion of the railway works.
“The age-old olive trees that take root in the soils of our Municipality come to highlight the value of our cultural heritage, operating as living monuments of nature that give us even today – hundreds of years later – the blessed fruits” said the Mayor of Kordelio Evosmos Kleanthis Mandalianos. “With the placement of the 7 century-old olive trees, in our municipality there are seven of our placement and reference points for the residents and the women, contributing to the area of environmental sensitivity but also to the dissemination of our history and tradition” he added.
