Oh, dear rowan tree, where have you been growing, in the midst of the swamps?
Where, have you been growing in the midst of the swamps, in the green moss?
Oh, dear mother, what have you raised me up for?
What have you raised me up for and conscripted me to a war?
The European rowan has a long tradition in European mythology and folklore. It was thought to be a magical tree and give protection against malevolent beings. The tree was also called "wayfarer's tree" or "traveller's tree" because it supposedly prevents those on a journey from getting lost. It was said in England that this was the tree on which the Devil hanged his mother.
British folklorists of the Victorian era reported the folk belief in apotropaic powers of the rowan-tree, in particular in the warding off of witches. Sir James Frazer (1890) reported such a tradition in Scotland, where the tree was often planted near a gate or front door.
According to Frazer, birds' droppings often contain rowan seeds, and if such droppings land in a fork or hole where old leaves have accumulated on a larger tree, such as an oak or a maple, they may result in a rowan growing as an epiphyte on the larger tree. Such a rowan is called a "flying rowan" and was thought of as especially potent against witches and black magic, and as a counter-charm against sorcery.
The power of the rowan tree for protection has also been held to be amplified when the tree is not rooted in the earth. This manifestation is known as a flying rowan. The belief that the separation of a plant from the earth will increase the ethereal qualities it possesses is also seen in the reverence that was given to mistletoe:
“Again, the view that the mistletoe owes its mystic character partly to not growing on the ground is confirmed by parallel superstition about the mountain-ash or rowan tree. In Jutland a rowan that is found growing out of the top of another tree is esteemed “exceedingly effective against witchcraft: since it does not grow on the ground witches have no power over it; if it is to have its full effect it must be cut on Ascension Day.””
We magnify you, the Mother of God, Who beyond reason and understanding, gave birth in time to the Timeless One.
After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
