Description
The holly tree is a classic symbol of Christmas and Christianity. The legend is told of
how the Holy Family fled from King Herod's soldiers by night. Out of desperation,
Mary tried to hide her child under a leafless holly bush. As she prayed for
protection, the bush grew new green leaves to hide the child. The soldiers passed
by, leaving the child unharmed. In return the Christ Child blessed the holly so it
would remain evergreen, a symbol of hope and immortality. Made in solid brass to
protect your tables and sideboards from stains and heat, this beautiful holly brass
trivet can also be used as an elegant accent in your home.
