Holly Art Print
The evergreen holly symbolized the enduring nature of life during the dark days of winter, while the deciduous oak symbolized the fullness of life during the light-filled days of summer. When the oak dropped its leaves in fall, the evergreen leaves of holly became symbols of hope for continued life. English Ivy was considered Queen to the Holly King.
The Druids regarded holly as a symbol of fertility and eternal life, thought to have magical powers. It was thought that bringing the leaves inside during the winter months would provide shelter from the cold for the fairy folk, who in return would be kind to those who inhabited the dwelling.
The holly became a symbol for Christians of Christmas as it was believed that Jesus’ crown was made of holly leaves and his blood stained the berries red. Christians gave the holly tree its name, deriving from the word holy.
