Nuts have been symbols of faith, fortune, and fertility for centuries, and their deep-rooted significance can still be felt today during Christmas celebrations. From their connection to Christian symbolism to their role in medieval mystery plays, these humble gifts have held profound meanings throughout history.
Why were hazelnuts, chestnuts, and walnuts so prominent in holiday traditions across Europe? How did Julian of Norwich's mystical visions connect the hazelnut to divine creation? And why have nutcrackers become so iconic during the festive season?
Join John and Patrick in this special Christmas episode as they delve into the symbolic layers of these beloved nuts, exploring their place in religious art, medieval culture, and modern holiday traditions.
