Description
Holly and Ivy on a white background. Very traditional at Christmas time.
Holly and Ivy are often linked together at Christmas but this goes back much further, to the idea of the holly (male) and ivy (female) being burnt together at the pagan festival of Beltane.
So when you put up your wreaths of holly and ivy remember you are taking part in some historic and less historic traditions and celebrate the natural history that is part of Christmas.
