The Tree of Life
unknown · n.d.
This colored print shows a large “tree of life.” This natural tree also symbolizes the wooden cross of the crucifixion, as its trunk holds an image of Christ. The branches contain about two dozen words which denote Christian sacraments, practices, and virtues. Above the tree, is a triangle symbolizing the Holy Trinity.
