Psalm 71:14-16 - In You, O LORD, I Have Taken Refuge
…14But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
15My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long,
though I cannot know their full measure. 16I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD;
I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.

Fig trees (Ficus carica) have a unique fruiting habit that allows them to produce two crops of fruit each season. This process is related to their ability to bear fruit on both old and new wood. The first crop, called a breba crop, typically appears in late spring to early summer. This crop grows on the previous year’s wood, also known as old wood. Breba figs are usually larger but less numerous than the main crop. The second crop, the main crop, matures in late summer to early fall. These figs develop on the current year’s growth, also known as new wood. The main crop is generally more abundant and of higher quality compared to the breba crop. These figs are typically smaller but more flavorful and numerous. Different fig varieties have varying capacities to produce breba crops. Some are more prolific in breba production, while others excel in the main crop.

The Olympic Truce: 5 Facts | United Nations
The tradition of the Olympic Truce – Ekecheiria – has been to ensure a halt of all hostilities, allowing the safe passage and participation of athletes and spectators taking part in the Olympic Games.
The resolution reaffirms that the Olympic values of peace, solidarity and respect are as important across the world today as they were over 3,000 years ago, when the ancient Olympic Games first took place in Greece. The main objectives pursued by the IOC through the Olympic Truce are to mobilise young people for the promotion of the Olympic ideal, to use sport to help build bridges between communities in conflict, and, more generally, to create a window of opportunity for dialogue and reconciliation.
In Greek mythology, Ekecheiria, Ekekheiria, or Ecechiria was the spirit and personification of truce, armistice, and cessation of hostilities.
Greek 1577 ekklēsía(from 1537 /ek, "out from and to" and 2564 /kaléō, "to call") – properly, people called out from the world and to God, the outcome being the Church (the mystical body of Christ) – i.e. the universal (total) body of believers whom God calls out from the world and into His eternal kingdom.
[The English word "church" comes from the Greek word kyriakos, "belonging to the Lord" (kyrios).

The “localized hydrothermal explosion” occurred near Sapphire Pool around 10:20 a.m., according to a news release from the park.

The idea for the Olympic flame was derived from ancient Greek ceremonies where a sacred fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics on the altar of the sanctuary of Hestia. A group of women representing the Vestal Virgins (usually 11 in number) perform a celebration at the Temple of Hera, during which a fire is kindled by the light of the Sun, its rays concentrated by a parabolic mirror. The fire is used to light the first torch of the Olympic Torch Relay.

July 26 - Olympics Opening Ceremony
At their heart, the Games were a religious festival and a good excuse for Greeks from all over the Mediterranean basin to gather for a riotous barbeque. On the middle day of the festival a vast number of cows were slaughtered in honour of Zeus, King of the Greek Gods – once he had been given a small taste, the rest was for the people.
In 393 AD, the Christian emperor Theodosius I forbade the celebration of pagan cults, which included the Games.
Most ancient Greeks recognized the twelve major Olympian gods and goddesses— Zeus, Hera, Poseido

"The 'blue man' in the Olympics opening ceremony is Bacchus/Dionysus (Roman/Greek), the god of wine and revelry..."

Bacchus is the Roman name for Dionysus, the Greek god of fertility who later became known as the god of wine and pleasure.

In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Liber (Latin: [ˈliːbɛr]; "the free one"), also known as Liber Pater ("the free Father"), was a god of viticulture and wine, male fertility and freedom.
