{B} Five petaled yellow blossoms and opposing oblong leaves, red spots. {C} St. John the Baptist, and sometimes St. John the Apostle This flower is known for use in treating depression, along with anxiety, loss of appetite, and insomnia. It can be found on the dry ground of roadsides, in meadows and woods. Also known as Barbe de Saint-Jean, Herbe de la Saint-Jean. Some say that St. John the Evangelist, who was the only apostle who stood at the foot of the cross, may have gathered the herb after he noticed it drenched in Christ's blood. Others say the plant may be named after St. John the Baptist, associating the plant with his beheading: the red spots on the plant are said to be drops of his blood. Another story says the herb is named for the Knights of St. John who used it to treat the wounded in the crusades. Meditating on the history of the plant makes for some beautiful thoughts no?

"The ilex or holly, and the ivy, both evergreen plants are traditional Christmas symbols: the holly for part of the same reason as the Glastonbury Rose is, because it represents the Crown of Thorns that the Savior will wear during His Passion. The holly has little sharp points all around its edges, much like a thorn and one can easily prick a finger by touching the leaf carelessly. The berries represent the drops of Blood He shed. Moreover, the holly is held by tradition to be of the same plant as the wood of the Cross was said to come from. During Advent and Christmas Christians acknowledge the need for a Savior and holly reminds them of this: the holly bough is one of St. John the Baptist's symbols; the Saint heralded our Lord's coming as Isaiah did in the Old Testament. The ivy is so perennially green, that it symbolizes fidelity and immortality or eternal life in Christ. In addition, the ivy clings to its support as it grows, which symbolizes the Catholic's attachment and undying affection for his merciful Savior." - Catholic Tradition Title: Re: Belle Fleur Post by: Shin on January 02, 2015, 04:13:35 AM {A} Common star of Bethlehem

(d) He for the weaks sake permitteth her not to be molested, till she be prepared to suffer with patience. 8 (e) The voice of my beloved, behold he cometh leaping in the mountains, leaping over the little hills: (e) She feeling Christs assistance, confesseth, & preacheth boldly his Gospel, & truth against all Pagans, and Heretics. 9 my beloved is like unto a roe, and to a fawn of hearts. Behold he standeth behind our wall, (f) looking through the windows, looking forth by the grates. (f) Who though he show not himself visibly: 10 Behold my beloved speaketh to me: (g) Arise, make hast my love, my dove, beautiful one, and come. (g) yet encourageth her to approach unto him: 11 For winter is now past, the rain is gone, and departed. 12 The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come: the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land: Canticle of Canticles 2:1-12, Original Douai Rheims Title: Re: Belle Fleur Post by: CyrilSebastian on August 06, 2015, 07:47:34 PM {A} Rhododendron Piety

B. Purple flowers, in pairs, and the first to appear in spring. C. The flower blooms on the feast of St. Flavian, Archbishop of Constanople, martyr. St. Flavian succeeded St. Proclus as bishop. When an archimandrite was accused of heresy, and refused to make an orthodox declaration on the two natures of Christ, St. Flavian excommunicated him. However, he suffered for condemning the heresy and the heresiarch, as the heresiarch connived to be convoked a false council in his own support, 'The Robber Council of Ephesus', where St. Flavian was beaten, put in chains, and sent into exile. He was beaten so badly he died a few days later, his exile having only just begun. He died a martyr against the heretics, for the sake of the dogma of the two natures of Christ. The Feast of St. Flavian, Archbishop and Martyr, is 2-17, today.

{B} A purple or white flower that toweringly grows around 2 feet tall. It has ladder-like leaflets on the branches off its main stem. {C} After Jacob, the Old Testament Patriarch, from his vision. Jacob's Ladder... This plant towers at over two feet tall.. it is often found with lavender blossoms, but I have a white variety. This recalls Jacob, who lying down took a stone for a pillow, and then saw this vision in his sleep, of a ladder standing upon the earth, with the top touching heaven, and angels ascending and descending upon it, and the Lord leaning upon it, who spoke to him. [c.f. Genesis 28:10] I shall have to investigate this plant's possible medicinal uses. I am not at all experienced in using herbs for medicine so the planting of this garden and reading old and new references on herbal uses is interestingly new light for me. Fresh herbs are normally the best so I will no doubt find some helpful ones. When I think of this ladder of Jacob I also think of St. John Climacus who wrote the Scala Paradisi, 'Ladder of Paradise' or Ladder of Divine Ascent. 'The holy virtues are like Jacob’s ladder, and the unholy vices are like the chains that fell from the chief Apostle Peter. For the virtues, leading from one to another, bear him who chooses them up to Heaven; but the vices by their nature beget and stifle one another.'

{B} Larches can grow to massive heights. "Larch leaves take the shape of soft, flat needles which sprout out in tufts. Each cluster features roughly 30 to 40 green needles, which turn golden-yellow in autumn and fall to the ground during winter." "Among the Larch's green needles, you will also see pinkish red female flowers, which eventually turn into cones." "The tree is grown mainly for its timber, but the inner bark and resin are also used." "Larchwood possesses astringent, antiseptic and diuretic actions. The balsam of larch is used at a concentration of 10% to 20% in gels and ointments for colds and fevers." "The Larch tree is especially valued for its extremely hard wood. The tree's timber is tough, waterproof and knot-free. It is a top pick to construct: boats, panelling, fences, buildings, roof shingles, and coffins." {C} St. Leocadia, Virgin and Martyr. She was apprehended by an order of Dacian, the cruel governor under Dioclesian, in the year of Our Lord 304. Her constancy was tried by torments, and she died in prison. For, hearing of the martyrdom of St. Eulalia, she prayed that God would not prolong her exile, but unite her speedily with her holy friend in his glory; in which prayer she happily expired in prison. "St. Leocadia, being called to the trial, exerted all heroic Christian virtues, because she had made her whole life an apprenticeship of them, and their practice had been familiar to her. Some people say it was easy for Christians to be totally disengaged from the world, and to give themselves up to prayer and penance when they daily and hourly expected to be called upon to lay down their lives for Christ. But were we not blinded by the world, and if the enchantment of its follies, the near prospect of eternity, the uncertainty of the hour of our death, and the repeated precepts of Christ were equally the subjects of our meditation, these motives would produce in us the same fervent dispositions which they did in the primitive Christians. How much soever men now-a-days are strangers to these gospel truths, for want of giving themselves leisure to consider them, Christians are bound to be totally disentangled from worldly affections in order to unite their hearts closely to God, that they may receive the abundant graces and favours which He communicates to souls which open themselves to him. They are bound to renounce sensuality, and the disorders and vanities of the world, and to be animated with a spirit of meekness, peace, patience, charity, and affectionate good-will towards all men, zeal, piety, and devotion. They are bound to be prepared in the disposition of their hearts to leave all things, and to suffer all things for his love." - Lives of the Saints :thrones: :thrones: :thrones: :thrones: :thrones: :thrones: :thrones: :thrones: Title: Re: Belle Fleur Post by: CyrilSebastian on December 18, 2016, 04:55:55 PM {A} Iris unguicularis Mary Barnard

The lion was roaring, wishing to attack, the bull seeming to toss with its horns, the serpent writhing but unable to approach, and the wolf as it rushed on was restrained; altogether the noises of the apparitions, with their angry ragings, were dreadful. But Antony, stricken and goaded by them, felt bodily pains severer still. He lay watching, however, with unshaken soul, groaning from bodily anguish; but his mind was clear, and as in mockery he said, 'If there had been any power in you, it would have sufficed had one of you come, but since the Lord has made you weak, you attempt to terrify me by numbers: and a proof of your weakness is that you take the shapes of brute beasts.' And again with boldness he said, 'If you are able, and have received power against me, delay not to attack; but if you are unable, why trouble me in vain? For faith in our Lord is a seal and a wall of safety to us.' So after many attempts they gnashed their teeth upon him, because they were mocking themselves rather than him.'
