Heritage
A sign of new life and Gods promise... “When Moses went into the tent of the covenant on the next day, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted. It put forth buds, produced blossoms, and bore ripe almonds. -Numbers 17:7

Almond, the first tree to flower before winter’s end, symbolized fast-moving events. “...the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along, and desire fails; because all must go to their eternal home...” -Ecclesiastes 12:5
