Easter, the feast of feasts. It is the preparation for the fulfillment of
Easter, of our personal Resurrection.
The liturgical traditions of the Church
us and its sequences, they exist to help us
regain the spiritual life that we so easily lose and betray.

Trees and shrubs

Trees and shrubs

Δέντρα και κεντρώματα

To make a tree make grapes

Plant a vine near a plane tree and when it shoots shoots, let them mature until they are two or three years old and then drill the plane tree or cherry or whatever other tree you want with a thick drill, as long as the vine is and pass it first two probes, that is, as much as the thickness of the branch you will drill, so cleaned the vine, the part that wants to stay in the hole, to incarnate to become one with the tree.
And when three years pass, cut the vine whistling of the tree. From the place where you have the root, drop it and leave only the top, where it is planted in the tree. And when the tree bears fruit, then the vine also makes its grapes, if it is premature. And this is a very true thing.
