The Wheat
The Sun and the Earth created the golden and most valuable wheat for humans. Over the centuries, the wheat represents fruitfulness, euphoria and life itself.
During the Eleusinian Mysteries, the wheat cob was offered to the gods, as a symbol of abundance. The wheat, closely related to goddess Demeter, is one of her holy symbols! Our jewellery is made of 925' silver, or 18k or 14k gold and gold-plated silver.
It was a primary nutrition element, as well as an essential part of the oferings to the gods of agriculture. During the harvest in Eleusis, one of Demeter's priestesses, or a servant, would follow a ritual to reap the wheat from Demeter's sacred field and then store it in her temple. During the Eleusinian Mysteries, the wheat cob was ofered to the gods, as a symbol of abundance. The wheat, closely related to Demeter, is our town's symbol!
