In addition to the various flowers I have on my terrace, there are definitely a few basil stalks. Basil is said to be a plant of the Garden of God. Basil is a prayer, spice and medicinal plant. In the Old Religions, basil had a special place and symbolism. The Orthodox Church considers basil to be a sacred plant used in church rites. Biologist Josif Pancic said that basil accompanies us both in joy and in sorrow, because it is a flower of God, and that basil should be planted in the garden first, and only then the remaining flowers.
