The Moses-in-the-Cradle flower, named after the biblical Moses’ infancy in a floating basket, symbolizes hope and protection. This flower, from the Commelinaceae family, resembles a cradle with its purple petals, representing Moses’ miraculous survival. Like the infant Jesus, baby Moses faced trials and was believed to be divinely protected, inspiring the flower’s name. These entities connect through shared symbolism, representing the significance of early life experiences and divine guidance.
