Laurel has traditionally been a symbol of victory. In ancient Greece and Rome, those who succeeded in athletic or competitive events were crowned with a laurel wreath. Thus, it is alluded to by the Apostle Paul when he refers to the victor's crown. The leaves of the laurel do not wilt, so it is sometimes associated with eternity.
