Christian Trees
How do Christian trees behave, and how have Christian humans interacted with them? Drawing on historical examples of religious plant behaviour in the Christian world, this talk explores tree piety as well as the piety of humans who mingle with trees. I shall suggest that trees may have played a more active part in the Christian religion than scholars and believers tend to give them credit for.
