Evergreen is the Mistletoe
Mistletoe symbolizes peace, love, and protection across cultures. The Greeks, Norse, and Celts regarded it as sacred, associated with fertility and healing, and gathered it for its magical properties during the winter solstice. Today, it’s a cherished Christmas tradition, representing reconciliation and love, especially when couples kiss beneath it. Its significance in holiday celebrations underscores its importance through generations.
