The Tree of Life has appeared in countless cultures, religions and mythologies all over the world and throughout history. Clearly, the idea of a mystical tree which embodies the essence of life is not unique to any one civilization. Central to all beliefs around the Tree of Life is the inescapable unity of all of creation. It conveys the message that although we're born into this world as seemingly unique individuals, spiritually we remain connected to all that is.
Nearly every faith has its own version of the Tree of Life, including Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Hinduism.
