The Sycamore

sacred-iconic-trees-around-world-9-the-sycamore-tree

From the Greek word “Sicon” meaning fig and “moros,” meaning blackberry bush. The Sycamore Tree is perhaps the most mentioned species of tree in the Christian Bible.

From the time of King Solomon (Old Testament) up to Jesus’ time (New Testament). Despite numerous Bible citations, it does not really merit any sacred symbolical meaning unlike the other species of trees mentioned in this article.

Perhaps instead of defining the Sycamore Tree as a pilgrimage for worship, the real and deeper meaning that it could best serve is the additional sense of factuality of the Bible itself.
