Hi, if you would, kindly explain or expound on what this phrase means:
"When the moment of her delivery approached, she departed in the middle
of the night from the house of Zachary, and she walked out of Jerusalem. And she saw a
dried up palm tree; and when Mary sat at the foot of this tree, it immediately bloomed
anew and was covered with leaves and greenery, and it bore a great abundance of fruit
through the operation of God’s power. And God called forth a spring of living water next
to it, and when the pains of childbirth tormented Mary, she squeezed the palm tree tightly
with her hands".
Thanks.

Palm trees symbolize the victory of Christ. They are also intimately related to the potency of the sexual energy.
Blooming flowers or plants also represent the chastity of the soul. This is power of the Divine Mother.
