Cedar and Cypress

Picture
In Talmudic times, it was customary to plant a cypress tree at the birth of a girl, representing beauty, grace and fragrance, and to plant a cedar tree at the birth of a boy, representing majesty, strength and uprightness. Later, branches from these trees were used to make the chuppah for their wedding ceremony. In this ketubah design, Vetta has painted a cypress and a cedar as a frame for the ketubah text, and as a symbol of the chuppah.

Vetta Alexis is an Artist and Calligrapher living and working in London. She specializes in Calligraphy and Painted Illumination in Hebrew, English and Yiddish. She has exhibited widely, including at the British Library, the Museum of London and the Jewish Museum.
