A Wreath Symbolizing Abundance and Wealth＊

The wheat wreath has long been associated with "bountiful harvests" and "wealth" in Europe, particularly in Croatia, where it is cherished as a good-luck item.

In Croatia, it was said that they would throw the last bundle of harvested wheat toward the sky and pray, "God, please give us bread to this height!"

Then, they would make a wreath from the thrown wheat, put it on the head of the most beautiful girl in the village, and everyone who had harvested the wheat would sing as they walked to the home of the field's owner.

The wreath passed from the girl to the landowner was first threshed and was kept until the next sowing as a symbol of "bountiful harvest," "prospects of wealth," "the infinite cycle of life and death," and "the power of new life."

Having something with such a rich history and origin close by makes one feel gentle and upright in their daily life＊
