In Armenia, pomegranate is one of the most recognizable symbols of the country. In Armenian mythology, pomegranate symbolizes fertility and good luck. Pomegranate is also a guardian against the evil eye.

At weddings in Western Armenia, the bride throws a pomegranate and smashes it into pieces. The scattered pomegranate seeds ensured that the bride would give birth to children. In Van, Armenian women who wanted to have a son ate a flatbread made from dough mixed with pomegranate seeds.

This is a very multi-dimensional character. Among the Phoenicians, it was an attribute of the sun god, a symbol of life. In Persia, it is a symbol of supreme power. In Greece - an attribute of Hera, the goddess of vows and marriage. And, of course, an attribute of Demeter - the goddess of the forces of eternal rebirth and fertility. There was a Greek legend that the first pomegranate tree was planted by the goddess Aphrodite. Also, the golden garnet on the island of Cyprus became a symbol of love and bonds.
