The term is used metaphorically and literally, often symbolizing victory, triumph, and eternal life. The palm tree was a common sight in the ancient Near East and was associated with beauty and prosperity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient cultures, the palm tree was a symbol of victory and peace. Victors in athletic contests were often awarded palm branches. In Jewish tradition, palm branches were used during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) as a symbol of rejoicing. The palm tree's ability to thrive in desert conditions made it a symbol of resilience and life. The phoenix, a mythical bird associated with rebirth and immortality, shares the same Greek root, highlighting themes of renewal and eternal life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the date palm, a palm<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>palm branches (1), palm trees (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5404: φοῖνιξ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">φοῖνιξ</span></span> (or, as some prefer to write it, <span class="greek2">φοῖνιξ</span>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 6, 1 c.; (and references under the word <span class="greek2">κῆρυξ</span>)), <span class="greek2">κηρικος</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>; <p><span class="lexheading">I.</span> as an appellative, <span class="accented">a palm-tree</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">תָּמָר</span>): <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">βαΐα</span> <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">φοιν</span>.
