Description
This unique image of a miraculous tree bearing multiple species of fruits and vegetables from the 17th century, can be identified as the biblical Tree of Life. A multifruiting tree is described in the Book of Revelations; a tree that grows in the celestial City of God bearing twelve types of fruit that ripen during every month of the year. This association with the Tree of Life in Revelations is reinforced by the curling grape vine wrapped around the trunk of the tree, which is symbolic of the Passion of Christ and the promise of eternal life. The addition of numerous animals and the presence of both the sun and the moon also refer to the abundance of the Garden of Eden in the Book of Genesis. Measures 14″ x 15″ on 14, 16 or 18 mesh mono deluxe needlepoint canvas, as the smaller of several sizes. Please indicate your mesh preference in the note section at checkout. We are happy to select and add wool , silk/merino wool blend or silk threads to help complete this unique and gorgeous canvas.
