Reliquary Relic
What does the fruit (ball) that is held by Virgin Mary (when depicted with Child) represent?
In relics and reliquaries or even in idolic representations Mary or sometimes Jesus is depicted Holding a piece of fruit (as it appears). I was wondering what this fruit represents.
It is rather obscure medieval symbolism. Mary is symbolic (the anti-type) of Eve in the Old Testament, and she is holding the fruit of the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden. The fruit symbolizes her Son, Jesus, who offers eternal life. Medieval theologians searced the Scriptures for parallels between stories/ personages in the old Testement (the type) and the New Testement (the anti-type).
