I'm not sure if this is the right section to ask this, but I know that the flower, Passiflora or the Passion Flower, has a story involving a religious connection in that the parts of the flower is connected to people, saints, events, in the bible, for example, it has 10 outer leaves - 10 for the 10 commandments and each part of the flower has some connection like that. I have searched the Internet but cannot find anything about it, can anyone help. Many thanks.
Passion Flower and it's religious connection?
Leaf symbolises the spear
Five anthers for five wounds
The tendrils for the whip cords
Column of the ovary the upright of the cross
The stamens the hammers
Three styles for three nails
Threads inside flower for crown of thorns
The calyx the glory
The white tint purity
The blue tint Heaven
The flower opens for 3 days for the years of His ministry or the days in the tomb.
Reply:~~~ MM ,,, I believe that it was named by Spanish Explorers who settled in Tropical areas of the Pacific Ocean %26amp; Brazil who noticed that the Passion Fruit Blossom resembles what could be the "Crown of Thorns", and some numerical correlations to match their Symbolism, which was worn by their messiah, in his walk to his crucifixion. ~ Namaste`
