Oak Tree

Hospitality, stability, strength, honour, eternity, endurance, liberty. 

It is believed to have been the tree from which Jesus Christ’s cross was made. 

In smaller pioneer cemeteries, it is common to place children’s graves near oak trees. 

The Oak tree was the tree of life in
pre-Christian times. 

The Druids worshipped the oak. 

The Oak, Oak leaves and Acorn can stand for power, authority or victory. 

Often seen on military headstones.
