Being a fruit generated by an evergreen, the pine cone symbolized life force and eternity.The pine cone is the fruit of the pine tree, and has always and in various civilizations contained within itself the symbolic meanings of life force, immortality, divinity, linked to the tree that generates it together with those of fertility and regenerative force for the seeds it contains.Sicilian popular tradition believes that it is useful to give pine cones to hang over the door of the house as a wish for health and good luck to the family who lives there.
