Tree of Life (candelabra) is a popular form of
art in Mexico. Shaped in the form of a tree, it
is then crafted in great detail with figures such
as people, branches, flowers, fruit, animals and
other subject matter. Trees of life usually hold
candles and are often placed as decorative
objects at weddings, churches, funerals, and
various special occasions.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, the
tree of knowledge, connecting to heaven and the
underworld, and the tree of life, connecting all
forms of creation, are both forms of the world
tree or cosmic tree. According to some scholars,
the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, portrayed in various religions and
philosophies, are the same tree
