To ward off evil on the summer solstice, wear garlands of flowers to prevent evil spirits from overtaking you, and especially St. John's wort. Adapted to Christianity, this superstition supposedly has pagan origins. #FairytaleTuesday

In Pagan folklore evil spirits appear on the summer solstice. To protect themselves from them, folks would wear garlands of herbs and flowers fashioned as crowns upon their heads.‘Chase-devil’or St John’s Wort, is an effective herb used in the garland.
"Then, going up to Ilium, Alexander sacrificed to Athena and poured libations to the heroes. Furthermore, the gravestone of Achilles he anointed with oil, ran a race by it with his companions, naked, as is the custom, and then crowned it with garlands, pronouncing the hero happy"

White lilies symbolise peace, chastity, grace and grief. In ancient times brides wore garlands of lilies in their hair, as a lucky charm for a pure and fruitful marriage. Symbolic of the souls of the recently dead and a sign of peace, they are seen at funerals.

Garlands are an ancient tradition in many cultures, associated with festivals and religious rituals. I created one dedicated to peace and protection.🌿#peace #garland #floraltraditions #floralhistory #roses

The San Zeno Polyptych (1457-60) is another work where Mantegna’s research is apparent. A particular feature are the garlands, inspired by Roman sarcophagi. It was the first major Renaissance work in Verona & he is believed to have designed the frame.
