In fact, "Golden apples of the Hesperides" in Atlanta meant not only the West and death but also the resurrection from the dead. Among the many cultivated Greeks and Romans of the trees were up to thirty kinds of Apple trees. Perhaps the Apple tree was imported to the Mediterranean from the Caucasus. In Greek mythology, the Creator of Apple stands Dionysus, Aphrodite gave him, which gave occasion to his erotic symbolization. During the wedding of Zeus with Hera, Gaea gave her the Apple, which symbolized fertility. Hercules brought him out of the country of the Hyperboreans, where it was guarded by the hundred head dragon, and three hesperidae. The Apple was the forbidden fruit of the Golden age. A specialist in mythology R. von Ranke-Graves interprets the Apple as a widespread symbol of love and spring: "It is a passport to the Elysian fields, the Apple orchards, the entrance to which is maintained for the souls of heroes... the Apple is a gift of the three Hesperides to Hercules, and eve, the "mother of all living" Adam. In the end, the Nemesis, the goddess of the sacred oak groves, who in later myths became the symbol of the divine vengeance proud kings, is a branch with apples in her gift to heroes. All of the Paradise places of Neolithic and bronze age were the Islands with fruit orchards..."

In the ancient myths of the drunken God Dionysus created the Apple that he gave to the goddess of love, Aphrodite. Erotically associated with women's Breasts, and shell for the seeds of the Apple cut in half — with outer female genitals. In this regard, Apple has a partly two-digit symbolic meaning.

The Apple of Dionysos was the quince. An Apple tree was associated with health and immortality. Was Dedicated To Apollo. The bone of contention. A Golden Apple was thrown at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis (because she was not invited to this wedding), the goddess of discord Aridol with the inscription "Fairest". Moguscestvennaja three goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite began to claim it. They asked Zeus to award the Apple sire, but he commanded Hermes to pass the Apple to Paris, son of Priam the King of Troy. Each of the candidates starlabs promises to persuade the judge in their favor.

The most beautiful was the wife of Spartan king Menelaus, which thanks to the goddess kidnapped by Paris, causing Trojan war and, indirectly, enriched the world culture. the three goddesses that, of course, caused a dispute between them. It stopped Paris giving the Apple to Aphrodite (Venus). In gratitude, Aphrodite awarded Paris the love of Helen, which started the Trojan war.

The Greek hero Heracles (in Roman mythology Hercules) stole the Golden Apple of immortality of the Hesperides.

Melos — a priest and a Minister in the temple of Aphrodite, called the father of Adonis, according to the myth, after learning about the boy's death, hanged himself on a tree turned into his fruit which later received his name. During the annual festival at Delos, in the temple of Artemis, a young Acontius fell in love with a beautiful Kidepo and laid at her feet an Apple with the words: "I Swear by Artemis that will belong to Acontius" she had read. Thus arose a peculiar way: after passing the oath to be in love and to bring the matter before the wedding. Slavs is a symbol of fertility, health, love, beauty, the emblem of marriage, healthy offspring. Ya and the branches of Apple trees play an important role in the wedding rituals of the Slavs. Y. acted in the function of the sign of love: a guy and a girl, exchanging fruits, expressed mutual sympathy, publicly declaring his love. Ya, as adopted by the girl in the marriage, is consent to the marriage. Among the southern Slavs invited to the wedding, carrying Ya home. Apple-tree branch used in the making of the wedding banner, trees; I. strengthen in the wreath of the bride. Branch Ya stick in the loaf (Belarusians, Ukrainians, poles), baked chicken wedding (Russian). Going to the wedding, the bride took J. (South Slavs); in the Church after the wedding she threw Ya for the altar to have children (luicana). Ya gave the newlyweds to have many children was born; in the first night the one Ya put under the feather bed, and the second broke in half, and each spouse had eaten half of it. Ya — a symbol of chastity of the bride: put on the wedding shirt or instead of it in a sieve. Under the Apple tree among the southern Slavs committed ritual shaving of the groom before the wedding; when changing headdress bride headdress married woman's veil from her head was an Apple off a branch and threw it on the Apple tree. In the rites of Ya binds to the complex of positive values. To keep everyone healthy, Christmas, New year washed with water, in which lay Ya (Western Slavs); the children were healthy and beautiful, the pregnant woman was to touch the Apple tree and look at its branches (in winter) or the apples (in the summer); that the child grew healthy, strong, rosy, with Apple I was visiting a woman in labor (South Slavs); the midwife at the christening of distributed Y. (Ukrainians); the water after bathing of the newborn was poured under the sweet Apple tree (Moravia, Slovakia). As the victim threw Ya in the spring, well, river, lake, before to get water out of it (the Western and southern Slavs). Among the southern Slavs on Christmas and New year the youngest member of the family brought a branch of Apple in the house, it stuck in Kalach; Apple-rod has hit all households and livestock, and then threw an Apple tree. Ya — the gift in ceremonies calendar and family cycle: it was given to poles-nick, caroling, all are invited to the wedding and christening. In turn, the participants substitute rituals were brought to every house and Ya gave to his hosts, was put on the hearth. In Serbia, Macedonia, Croatia young, coming into a new house, "gifts" hearth Apple stuck with him the coin. Y. is the embodiment of fertility: it was placed in the seed corn, that wheat had been grown as big as Ya (the Serbs of Vojvodina), to protect crops from Stripping (the Bulgarians). In South Bohemia fruit trees on Christmas Eve "fed" nuts, apples. The last Ya not plucked from the tree: his left branch, so that next year the harvest (see "Beard") or for birds. In Slovakia, young, coming into a new home, turned a full basket of apples that the farm was bountiful. Helped Ya from infertility conceived after secondary flowering Apple trees (Bulgarians), the first on a young tree (the Serbs), long hanging on the Apple tree (Ukrainians). Ya linked to the world of the dead and plays a significant role in funeral rites: he was put in a coffin in the grave to a dead man carried on his "one world" folks. In the Bulgarian legends Archangel Michael took the soul in Paradise with J. J. at the table on Christmas Eve was meant for the dead, therefore, fearing the vengeance of the ancestors, was forbidden to take Ya with the Christmas tree (Poland). Still in a commemorative dish "kolivo" put the pieces Ya (Bulgaria). In funeral days exchanged apples for the repose of the soul of the dead at the graveyard Ya put on the grave, on the cross or buried near the cross. Apple acts as a mediator between the two worlds, as a link in the admission of the soul to the world of the ancestors. A small Apple tree carried before the coffin, planted on the grave (instead of a cross), so that the dead could through it to communicate with the living (Serbs, Bulgarians). Thought that tree was dead on the way to the very transition to "the light". When the Apple tree was dried up, that meant that the soul had reached Paradise, and the tree should break up with her. After the funeral of a young unmarried man Apple tree branch stuck in the ceiling in the room where the dead man was lying (Bulgarians). Southern Slavs believed that the Apple tree is connected with the lower world, as its fruits feed samodivi, plant it on the graves. Others thought that before Apple spas, it is up to the consecration of apples on the Apple tree inhabited by mermaids, hell (Polesie); under it are the treasures (poles). Ya sanctified in the Church of the Transfiguration (Apple Spas) and only after that they were allowed to eat. Among the southern Slavs it was done in St. Peter's day (29.U1). In Ukrainian legends "Saint Monday" during rzhavlenija on the day of the Transfiguration of the Lord gives sinners the apples outside the walls of Paradise, and the righteous in Paradise get Ya out of the hands of the Lord. In Christian legends the Apple tree and its fruit is connected with the fall of Adam and eve that when they partook of the forbidden fruit, were expelled from Paradise. In the Ukrainian legend of a fallen angel seduces them Ya, saying that by eating it, they will become gods. China "a Real Apple (Malus silvestris) in China is not cultivated; found varieties more similar with M. prunifolia, outwardly beautiful, but bloom poorly. Siberian wild Apple M. baceata there in great abundance in the North. Small cherry Malus, Pyrus spectabilis, is also common". In China, the Apple is a symbol of peace and harmony because harmony Chinese words pin — "Apple tree" and pin "world". The offerings in the gift carries the idea of eternal harmony and is equivalent to wishing that "Peace be with you". However, the name Apple with the word "disease", therefore it is not a custom to give apples to the sick. Apple color occurs as a decorative motif and symbolizes feminine beauty. The Chinese Apple means peace and harmony. Apple blossom is a Chinese symbol of peace and beauty. The Bible / old Testament In the Bible you can find lots of places where you will not find the explanations: what apples are we talking; are mentioned several times only grenades. Therefore, in the history of the seduction of eve by the Serpent, they say, not about Apple, but about a certain tree, "we may eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden" (Genesis 3: 1-6). The Apple tree in the biblical "Song of songs" (2: 1-8) — love and carnal attraction, Christianity, Eaten by Adam and eve Apple made them mortal. Finding a role forbidden and so dearly paid by our forefather of the fruit, Apple is an expression of original sin. A symbol of sin and falsehood has become the Apple of Sodom — outwardly beautiful but within full of ashes, as written in "Jewish history" of Flavius Josephus (37 — 103 A. D.), but before the end of the expression without explaining. In the Christian symbolism of the Apple in the hand of Christ expresses the expiation of original sin; also in the hand of the virgin Mary as the new eve. Basket with apples — the attribute of St. Dorothea. in Christian symbolism, the emblem of the Earth and earthly aspirations, desires (temporary, transitory), and its color, odor and sweetness — the temptations of the underworld. Solomon 2:3, which says: "What Apple trees between the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the sons. In his shade I delight to sit, and his fruit was sweet to my taste". This passage has been interpreted as an allusion to Christ. Soglasno traditions, as Christ is the new Adam, and Mary considered the new eve, and for this reason the Apple in the hands of Mary is also pointing to salvation. Apples became the attribute of Saint. Dorothea. By tradition (but not in the biblical source), the fruit of the tree of Knowledge (ADAM AND EVE, 2). Perhaps this borrowing from the classical image of the Golden apples of the Hesperides (HERCULES, 11). Hence the symbol of the Apple as the fall of man and (when he holds the Christ Child) an allusion to the future mission of Christ as Redeemer (the VIRGIN MARY, 13; still life). The Apple in the mouth of the monkey has a similar meaning. In Europe the Apple of Paradise, from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, is a symbol of temptation and sin. In paintings of the fall of the first parents (Adam and eve) the serpent holds in his mouth the seductive Apple, although in the text it is just about "fruits", "fruit": the Apple in the East was unknown. Depending on traditions in place of the Apple are the figs, quince or pomegranate Apple. Paintings of Christ's birth show the infant Jesus, who takes the Apple; symbolically he, therefore, takes on the sins of the world, so apples on the Christmas tree can be interpreted as the possibility of a return to Paradise through the birth of Christ. But first, a tempting sweetness of the Apple was associated with temptation and sin because of the similarity of the Latin word (malus — Apple) with the word malum — bad, evil, sinful. Therefore in works of art the Baroque period is often death in the form of a skeleton holding an Apple: the price of purworejo death. In the Christian tradition has a dual meaning. On one side is evil (malum in Latin) is the fruit of the seduction of Adam and eve. On the other hand, is depicted with Christ or the Virgin Mary, it points to the new Adam and salvation. A monkey with an Apple in his mouth means the fall. In Latin the word "Apple" and the word "evil" spelled identically — malum. This is seen as a connection to the biblical legend, which stated that the forbidden fruit from the tree of Knowledge from the garden of Eden eaten by Adam and eve was the Apple (Gen. 3:3). In scenes of the temptation by the serpent in the garden of Eden eve is usually depicted with an Apple in his hand, which she offers to Adam. Apple can also be a symbol of Christ, the new Adam, who has shouldered the burden of human sin. For this reason, when we see Adam with the Apple in his hand, it points to sin but when the Apple in the hands of Christ, it symbolizes the fruit of salvation. This interpretation is based on the book of the Song of Solomon 2:3 which says, "What the Apple-trees between the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the sons. In his shade I delight to sit, and his fruit was sweet to my taste". This passage has been interpreted as an allusion to Christ. According to tradition, Christ is the new Adam, and Mary considered the new eve, and for this reason the Apple in her hands also indicates the salvation. Despite the fact that the fruit that tempted eve in the garden of Eden, the Bible is not named, Apple was the first fruit, which was chosen the later interpreters of Holy Scripture. The Apple as a symbol, thus, has acquired both positive and negative value in relation to the concept of "knowledge" (since eve plucked him from the tree of Knowledge of good and evil). In art, the Apple symbolizes the original sin, if he is depicted in the mouth of the monkey or snake. Jesus Christ is the Savior often holding an Apple or specifies it is a symbol of Salvation. The Apple in the role of the forbidden fruit of Paradise was named later, after which it has become a symbol of the knowledge of Good and Evil, the starting point for the subsequent establishment of the "scale" of grades and standards of morality. "Commonly think that this name means lemon tree with its fruits. The actual Apple tree is very rare in the East, and bring them apples don't have beauty and pleasant smell, and in this respect it is not consistent with the image of him in Scripture. Same with lemon or orange tree, on the contrary, it fully corresponds to what is said in the book. The Song of songs about its beauty. the fragrant smell and pleasant taste and refreshing effect of the fruits thereof. Others understand under the name of symmetry orange tree". Astronomy/logy Apple correlated (astrological addiction) with the constellation Virgo. Alchemy Alchemists observed that an Apple cut crosswise at its heart contains a kind of five-pointed shape, which reminded them of the fifth element desired. They also used this fruit as a symbol of knowledge. Apple in alchemy — sulphur. Magic is Used for purification and rejuvenation of the organism, prevention and treatment of diseases of the digestive system. One of the ways information warts is rubbing them clean without speckles, apples, which are then buried in the ground. In Russia it is widely used for the treatment of apples, consecrated in the Church. The Apple was also used as a love tool, it was cut in half and, placing a note inside with the name of lubimogo, put on the sun. As the Apple dries in the sun, and desired person needs to dry from love. Divination If the groom sees in a dream that eating an Apple, this means a quick wedding and happiness in marriage. Heraldry In everyday life Apple because of their almost perfectly round shape is perceived as a space character, so the kings and the kings along with the sceptre held in the hands representing the whole world "majestic Apple" (power). In the ancient world, the coins were depicted with three circles indicating known to the Emperor Augustus parts of earth — Asia, Africa, Europe, and the "majestic Apple" was topped with the figure of the goddess of victory (Nike, lat. Victoria). In the Christian era, the place Nick took the cross, so even the astronomical symbol for Earth is a circle with the cross on it. It is noteworthy that even unattractive Apple-wilding found its use in heraldry. "Forest Apple, hard and sour, especially good is used to store wine, so it is not turned. Thus, the rigidity of the evil is punished, virtue is saved" (Bekler, 1688). Emblems Golden apples are personified attribute of vigilance, and harpies that accompany greed. "Venus, or Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, is portrayed Nagoya girl with an Apple in his hand;..." the Apple tree, burdened with an excess of fruit, and broken bows and branches. My abundance affects me. It's a symbol of abundance or do you become the source of destruction for many, lead to many evils and difficult circumstances, which at a moderate fortune, he could have avoided. [EMSI 2-12,p. 114] in this case, are considered fruit at all! NB! Psychology is a Guarantee of immortality. According to Jung, the Apple eaten by Adam and eve, acts as a symbol of life. On Dilu Apple — the symbol of earthly desires, or of indulgence to them. A warning not to eat the forbidden fruit came, therefore, from the mouth of the Supreme being as a warning to hypertrophy from material desires (15). Intelligence, thirst for knowledge, as Nietzsche believed, is only an intermediate zone between earthly desire and pure spirituality. In the dream, red or green Apple means a harmonious organic life. Wormy — talking about relationships, seemingly prosperous, but eroded from the inside. In one of the tales of the brothers Grimm envious stepmother gives snow white an enchanted Apple, which causes a sleep that resembles death, although from this dream it can rescue a noble Prince. Ad vocem the Apple of discord — disagreement, quarrel. "Adam's Apple" — the laryngeal prominence that occurs only in men, is, according to legend, the bite of the forbidden fruit that stuck in Adam (and his progeny) in the throat. One of the most popular monastic sayings in the middle ages was: "Mala mali malo mala contulit omnia mundo", (lat.) that is, "an Apple brought all evil to the world". "Nice Apple, but rotten inside. How beautiful is a lie, if you must decorate it!" ("The merchant of Venice" by W. Shakespeare). German expression: "the Epfel (nicht) essen mogen" means "may (or may not) have an Apple", in a figurative sense, means: "to be or not to be impotent." The expression: "the Apple falls far from the tree". Pickled Apple — thing tasteless. A lover of pickled apples — a man with eccentricities. "Apples of gold in settings of silver is a word aptly spoken" (Proverbs 25: 11). Apples of gold in settings of silver, "which was time wise, the Board is almost done, is compared to a delicious fruit in a silver basket." Apple from the tree... Damn jablocom in Europe was called the potato. The story of William tell gave life to the expression "hitting the bullseye". Swiss hero William tell was by order of the Imperial Governor Gessler, to shoot an Apple from the bow, put on the head of his son. William tell was taken out of the quiver of two arrows, and first it was just an Apple. When the Governor asked: what was the second arrow, William tell killed the Governor. Thus began the liberation war of the Swiss mountaineers against the Roman Empire of the German nation, which ended in victory for the Swiss. Ad notanda As you know, Newton was lying, resting in the garden, and the fallen Apple gave him the idea of the earth's gravity, and the Moon in orbit relies on gravitational laws. Concerning the adoption by the company "Apple" trademark there are several versions. On one of them the company was founded by Steve jobs and Steven Wozniak on April 1, 1976 — Jobs the whole day eating apples. According to another version the name of the computers "Macintosh" is associated with the same sort of apples in honor of John Mackintosh. Their 6-color trademark was created by Regis Mackenney in 1977, it is Possible that the bitten Apple is a symbol of sin and knowledge is one of the most mystical secrets of mankind. И обвивая древо жизни, Срывая плод добра и зла. Змий предлагает Еве выбор. В тоскливом Рае, тишина…….. Ты плод страданий и печали, Ты наслажденьями полна. Ты красота, томительных желаний, Ты жизнь и гибель, ты мечта. В тебе сокрыта тайна бога, И сила дьявола в тебе. Я искушаю на дорогу… Познай себя в своем грехе…. Рукою нежной и невинной, Адаму, плод свой отдала…. И изгнаны di paradiso, Где нет добра, где нету зла. POLLIN 2012/02/14 .

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."(The first Epistle of St. an. St. John The Evangelist) Art is the creator soul delight spilled on canvas, embodied in marble, paper, notes in the form, line, color, sound, word, movement and thousands of other creative expressions. This is awareness of Genesis, understanding of the soul creating the fabric of life .Works of art are true, pure symbols imprinted by the hand of the artist. They are characters of life, love, harmony and symmetry, sacred geometry of destiny. The world is ruled by symbols. And the true symbols express the divine harmony.If you're a creative person, the main energy that moves your hand is love, passion to cognition for the essence of things and phenomena. This is love and admiration, inspiration by the beauty of a landscape, character, object, myth or legend. The delight of my soul reflects the spiritual essence and symbolism of the Muse selected.Creativity is the destination of the soul incarnate in a person. We all are the co-creators of God, and everyone is an architect of his own life and world view. Convergence of matter and spirit, the ancient alchemy of human life are nothing else, but a splash of creative energy of spirit in matter.For me it is the music of my soul embodied in line and color, its trace through the time and space. Painting and sculpture are like my natural breath and my self expression. The motivation is simple - to live and create. An artist is the crystal, which stops the time in its purpose. An artist displays the Genesis, depicts the beauty and perfection of the moment. The artist perceives with his heart, not his eyes. An artist opens for the viewer the door to the wordlessness and guides to the pure original source of Life.Canvas is a material body, the image on the canvas is the artist soul cast.
