History
The Tree of life history is mentioned in the book of Genesis, It begins with the creation of the Eden Garden, where the Lord put Adam and Eve. This tree was the first source of food to them.
After God Expelled us from Eden, the access to this tree was forbidden. It is also mentioned in the Bible (Rev 2:7) that the tree of life is promised as a reward to those who overcome.
When the Spanish conquered the Aztec empire in Mexico the catholic religion started a great expansion. As a result of this the natives of Mexico started to worship all the catholic images including the tree of life. They started to represent this images in pottery, sculptures, paintings and architecture.
Till today we are very devoted to our traditions, our culture, beliefs and religion. The tree of life is part of our cultural legacy.
