It is used metaphorically to describe the transient nature of life and the signs of the times, as leaves are often associated with growth, change, and the seasons. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, leaves were symbolic of life, growth, and fertility. They were often used in literature and art to represent the cycle of life and the passage of time. In the biblical context, leaves can symbolize both prosperity and decay, depending on their condition and context. The imagery of leaves is also significant in Jewish tradition, where they are associated with the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), a time of harvest and thanksgiving.
