Pomegranates have a rich symbolism in many cultures and religions. In Egypt, they signify prosperity. In China, fertility. In Judaism, the numerous seeds symbolize fruitfulness. Also, the fruit is said to have 613 seeds, corresponding with the 613 commandments of the Torah.
To me, pomegranates represent abundance as well as the life lessons and wisdom of my parents.
