    I've eaten pomegranates and drunk the juice - but I didn't know any of this! Absolutely fascinating lens - blessed by this Squid Angel as part of the "Back To School Bus Trip"!

    My grandmother had a Pomegranate tree and I remember how much I enjoyed looking at them but I never connected the symbolism. I enjoyed this read. Thanks.

    Neat lens! In Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, MN you can tour the house, and in the bedroom of the former owners (which has been preserved), their bedroom was decorated with lots of pomegranates (I believe for fertility, which they certainly had no trouble with, LOL, and prosperity)! Fun fact!

    Thanks for this info. I have never seen a pomegranate tree. I am so facinated with them. When they are in season, I try to eat as many as possible. I especially loe the Biblical reference to them. Thank you for the education

    I knew about pomegranate symbolism in Christianity and in medieval art when it's used as a symbol of fertility and sometimes (if I remember correctly) to represent the world. I never knew about it's connection to Judaism and Greek mythology & found that fascinating. Great lens!

    I like the way you put your pictures same length as the text. I didn't know that pomegranate is such a sysmbol.

    I know what pomegranates mean in my spirituality, but it was very moving to see how it translates over so many others. Pomegranates are just beautiful, in the hand and in the heart. Thanks for the information.

    I had no clue the pomegranate had any meaning at all ... this was an eye opening experience to be sure! Nice job!

    Well I had no idea pomegranates were so meaningful - I just love their color, taste, and how interesting they are!
