Around the world we can find many special trees. Some trees are special because they are very old, other trees have a historic meaning. Trees are often used for sacred purposes, as mediators between heaven and earth on a consecrated location of worship.
Trees also have a symbolic meaning and can refer to 'man.' In the Garden of Eden there were two trees, the Tree of Life[2] and the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil[3].
