884. And lo in her mouth an olive leaf plucked off. That this signifies some little of the truth of faith; that “leaf” is truth, and “olive” the good of charity; that “plucked off” means the truth of faith therefrom, and “in her mouth” that it was shown, is evident from the signification of an olive tree, and is obvious from the very words. And that there was only a little, appears from there being only a leaf.
