The Tree of Life
Opis:: The Book of Proverbs presents four texts where the tree of life metaphor appears: 3:18; 11:30; 13:12; 15:4. They obviously allude to the heavenly tree, which – according to the description in Genesis – stood in the middle of the Garden of Eden. The motif is also present in tales and beliefs of ancient Near East cultures (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Canaan), which somehow affected its biblical use. The pre-sence of this metaphor in the Book of Proverbs indicates that regaining life that had been lost in the Garden of Eden was identified with gaining the divine gi= of wisdom. The tree of life, i.e. a gi= of a blessed life, means following the paths of wisdom in all its aspects: speech, desires, acts and relationships

Opis:: Morphology is the study of the form, shape and structure of an organism. The connection between the morphology and symbolism of trees is associated with the spirituals bonds existing between humans and trees. The common terms, such as „tree”, „trunk”, „branch”, „root”, „fruit”, „flower”, „leaf” have a specific meaning in botany. In addition these terms carry various symbolic meanings. This article attempts to analyse symbolic plant motifs which were based on the morphological structure of trees. The symbolic significance of trees is associated with their specific structure: the crown represents the mystical heaven, the trunk symbolizes the earthly world, the roots extend deep into the underworld. Possibly the best known cosmic tree (arbor mundi) is the Scandinavian Ash or Yggdrasil. It also represents the axis mundi – the centre of the world. Tree-like diagrams which graphically illustrate genealogies refer to the structure of trees as well (e.g. the tree of Jesse). Trees are the largest and longest living organisms on our planet. Among the tallest trees in the world are: Sequoia sempervirens „Hyperion” from California (measuring 115,5 m), and Eucalyptus regnans „Icarus Dream” from Tasmania (97 m high). The largest tree in terms of total volume is Sequoiadendron giganteum „General Sherman” in California (1500 cubic meters). The myth of the Ultimate Lotus Tree Sidrat al-Muntaha – that marks the end of the seventh heaven is a reference to a very large tree (probably Zizyphus lotus, however its specimen are not so large). The oldest known living specimen is the „Methuselah”, a bristle cone pine Pinus longaeva in California, which is estimated to be about 5000 years old. Taxus baccata from Henryków Lubański is the oldest tree (1250 years-old) on record in Poland. Due to their long life span, trees can be seen as “monuments”, which remind the world of important events in history, eg. the sycamore tree destroyed during the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001, whose roots were used in preparation for the sculpture honoring St. Paul’s Church. Tree symbolism also relates to changes in the appearance of trees that result from their life cycle and phenology. Trees, which lose their leaves in winter and produce new ones in spring, symbolize rebirth after death. Therefore, the cosmic tree is also called the Tree of Life. In Japanese culture the seasonal changes in the appearance of trees indicated the passage of time. In many cultures around the world trees were held sacred because they were believed to be the homes of certain gods (e.g. Ficus sycomorus in ancient Egipt, oak trees in Slavic and German legends). It should be noted, however, that the trees themselves were not the objects of worship but the gods who were thought to dwell in these trees. Nowadays the respect people have for trees stems from other reasons.

Tytuł:: „Ecclesia est paradisus” – interpretacja Kościoła jako raju na „Planie z Sankt Gallen” z 819 r.

Opis:: Among manifold symbolic interpretations of the Christian temple, of special importance was the perception of the church as a projection of the reality of Paradise (ecclesia est paradisus). This interpretation was especially popular in medieval monasteries (claustrum est paradisus). The abbey church on the Plan of Saint Gall is presented as Paradise, with the entrance flanked by two towers dedicated to the archangels Raphael and Gabriel. The cross in the centre of the temple represents the Tree of Life (arbor vitae). An identical cross is placed in the centre of the monastery’s cemetery among the trees of heavenly arboretum, as the announcement of the reward to be received on the day of Parousia. Both crosses on the Plan of Saint Gall – the one in the centre of the church representing the Tree of Life in the middle of Paradise and the one in the centre of the cemetery epitomizing the promise of the Parousia and eternal life – are a synthesis of the history of Salvation whose beginning and end are marked by Paradisus and Parusia.
Wśród symbolicznych interpretacji chrześcijańskiej świątyni ważne było postrzeganie Kościoła jako odwzorowania rzeczywistości Raju (ecclesia est paradisus). Taka interpretacja znalazła w średniowieczu szczególną popularność wśród wspólnot mniszych (claustrum est paradisus). Na Planie z Sankt Gallen kościół opactwa został przedstawiony jako przestrzeń raju, do którego wejścia bronią dwie wieże dedykowane archaniołom Rafałowi i Gabrielowi. Krzyż w centrum świątyni reprezentuje drzewo życia (arbor vitae). Taki sam krzyż został powtórzony w centrum klasztornego cmentarza, pośród drzew rajskiego arboretum, jako zapowiedź nagrody w dniu paruzji. Oba monumenty krzyża na Planie z Sankt Gallen – w centrum kościoła jako drzewo życia pośrodku raju i w centrum cmentarza jako zapowiedź paruzji i rajskiej nagrody – stanowią syntezę historii zbawienia, której początkiem był paradisus, a końcem będzie parusia.
