In the Christian tradition we find a close relationship between Mary and trees. As early as the Transitus Marie literature of the second and third centuries, Mary was also associated with the Tree of Life. Moreover, the Fathers of the Church saw Mary related to the Jesse tree of Isaiah's prophecy (Isaiah 11: 1-2). Extending the prophecy of the flowering rod of Jesse, the Church Fathers discerned plants and flower generally to be symbols of Mary and thus perceived that all mention of them in the Old Testament could be seen to prefigure her or in some ways reveal her virtues and endowments. Since Medieval times, European artists have represented Mary with various plants and on top or inside trees. This paper will analyze how these images of Mary were re-shaped when European missionaries reached Asia and spread the cult of Our Lady. This analysis will be based on the examination of European and Asian devotional images and texts.
