Symbolism > reeds

reeds

Reeds represent the just, who are said to dwell on the riverbanks of grace. The reed is also one of the symbols of Christ's passion, as he was offered a sponge soaked in vinegar on the end of a reed. And because it clusters thickly and is a common plant, bulrushes are symbolic of the multitude of faithful who lead a humble life and abide by Christian teaching. This symbol may also be granted to recall a memorable event that occurred near water where bulrushes were abundant.
