Best Answer

The song is about Jesus' last night before being captures and crucified. He spent this night in the garden of Garden of Gethsemane which lies at the foot of the Mount of Olives, a mountain ridge to the east of Jerusalem, named for the olive groves on its slopes.

thus the song:

'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow

The star is dimmed that lately shone:

'Tis midnight; in the garden now

The suffering Saviour prays alone.

Translated means:

It is midnight and on the brow of the hill which forms the mount of Olives

The savior who was recently welcomed into Jerusalem as a star is now alone and unwelcome

It is midnight and in the garden of Gethsemane

Jesus prays alone (all his friends have fallen asleep even though he asked them to stay awake with him).

I hope this helps :-)

I've never heard or read anything about black olives promoting cancer. This doesn't mean that there is no research to the contrary. However, black olives have been used for milenia either as cured olives for direct consumption, or to make olive oil which is beneficial to your health in many ways. They have a high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids which are good for your cardiovascular system.

When a bottle of olives in a brine spoil a film may develop on the liquid surface what is it?

It depends; there are two types of film that might develop, and neither necessarily mean that the olives have spoiled. A clear film on top of the brine is a layer of Olive Oil that has solidified due to changes in temperature. Simply remove the jar from the refrigerator for 30 minutes and the olive oil will dissolve and return to its liquid state. A little "olive jar shake" won't hurt either. A white film however, is the result of a reaction (oxidation) that occurs between the vinegar and the air in the jar. Simply remove the layer of white film with a spoon. Then remove and rinse any olives that may have come in contact with the film. The olives are most always safe for consumption and may be placed back in the brine.
