Cherries to be eat on the tree, as the knowledge

In the Bible, the forbidden fruit, the fruit of the knowledge is the apple, not the cherry.

I find that the cherry is suited enough as symbol of one of the manners to acquire some knowledge :

• it is not the fruit which which is offered as an apple, as we pass on(transmit) a knowledge.
• it is rather the fruit which gathers, as we gather one thousand knowledges according to its readings and experiences.
• it is not the fruit which has to wait for the murissement slow and is eatable in autumn, but a fruit which tastes(savours) from the end of the spring, or as soon as our brain is ready to approach all the knowledges.
• and thus a fruit which does not need a tempter culprit (snake, woman, as in the Bible), but whose fruits at hand pick easily, while those who are high in the branches oblige to climb with effort to collect them.
• furthermore, it is fruits which can be used as ornament, as we make it, in its youth, when we put them around its ears or around the ears of his lover - lover...

In brief, the cherry the picking of which peaks in fine June, the beginning of July, is good this fruit symbol of the harvests and the pleasures to come, real or symbolic.

Extract of the article Cerise, of the dictionary of Natural history of Guérin, of 1833

We celebrate, in Hamburg, the party of Cerise, children's choruses travel streets, holding green twigs, in charge of Cerise. Here is the origin of this party : in 1432, Hussites marched on the city of Hamburg, to destroy it from top to bottom. A citizen, named Wolf, suggested sending to the enemies a mission of children from seven to fourteen years old, wrapped in mortuary sheets. The show of these innocent beings which, beginning the life, came to him covered with the badges of the death, was a surprise and touched the leader of the Hussites, Procope Nasus. He embraced these young supplicants, treated them with Cerise, promised to them to spare the city, and kept promises.
