The leaf is one of the most important parts of a plant, responsible for photosynthesis, which, besides producing energy necessary for its survival, is also very important for purifying the air.
Since ancient times, they have been a symbol of nature's life cycle. For this reason, they are always associated with positive meanings such as birth, life, prosperity, good harvest, and joy.
In the autumn season, when many leaves are falling, the trees are still standing strong. This fact reminds us to go on with life even with losses along the way, and that we must have the strength to carry on.
Here are some more species-specific meanings:
Bay leaf ? Glory, Prosperity, Reward
Olive Leaf ? Endurance, Strength, Abundance, Greek goddess Athena, Dove of Peace
Edge Sheet ? Flag of Canada, Protection against evil spirits, Lovers' symbol
Four-leaf Clover ? Good Luck
