title: What does persistence object means in Hibernate architecture?
body: <blockquote>
    <h2>Hibernate is a persistence framework which is used to persist data
    from Java environment to database.</h2>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am so confused.. if we persist an object to the database, then why does Hibernate Architecture depicts the persistent object in the middle of Application and Hibernate in the picture below? </p>
