Biblical research - “The structure of the menorah itself is very similar to the Israeli Moriah plant or salvia palaestina, an attractive plant with four branches on either side that emerge from a central stem. Lit with olive oil, the menorah in Israel not only marked a military victory, it was a celebration of the natural world of Israel, the moriah, the almond, the olive tree, at a time when most plants lie dormant. The light offered from this candelabrum in combination with its plant imagery, took the onlooker away from the blight of winter to a warm, sunny, plant-filled place in the imagination” (Moriah plant).
