While watering the flowers yesterday, an UPS truck pulled up and the carrier presented me with a large box. To my delight, it was a dozen beautiful pears, a Christmas gift from a friend in Virginia. The pears reminded me of that well known joyful song, The 12 Days of Christmas, as the pear tree is repeated 12 times.
Just for fun, I looked up the symbolism of a pear. It represents the womb, the birth and creation of new life. The pear tree represents the feminine in nature.
A little more research turned up this famous renaissance painting, Madonna of the Pear by Giovanni Bellini (1426-1516). In Christian symbolism, it appears in connection with Christ's love for mankind.
A pear tree also represents longevity, justice, strength, fruitfulness, and salvation.
Enjoy your day with the Angels.
Love and joyful blessings,
Rae Karen
