Peach
Known as the Fairy Fruit the peach might have originated in China. Peach has a prominent place in the realm of the prolific culture of Chinese superstitions. It is the emblem of marriage; symbol of immortality and springtime. The myth says that the peach-tree of the gods blossomed once in three thousand years and the fruit ripened for another three thousand years.
The fruit has magical medicinal powers and its stones/seeds are made into amulets for the protection of children. The God of Longevity is seen seated on a peach and its juice or “peach charm” is sprayed on the door to prevent evil from entering.
The most felicitous time to marry is in the springtime in the month when the peach-tree blossoms.
