Fruit Symbolism:

APPLE: In Latin, the word for apple and the word for evil, malum, are identical. Hence tradition has it that the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, the fruit of which Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat, was an apple tree [Genesis 3:3]. In pictures of the tempting of Eve by the serpent in the Garden of Eden, Eve is generally shown with an apple in her hand, offering it to Adam. The apple may also be symbolic of Christ, the new Adam, who took upon Himself the burden of man's sin. For this reason, when the apple appears in the hands of Adam it means sin, but when it is in the hands of Christ, it symbolizes the fruit of salvation.

BANANA: (plantains) Often seen in Renaissance paintings, it is a common and lowly plant which thrives along roads and paths. It became known as 'way bread' and a symbol of the 'well-trodden path' of those who seek the path to Christ.

CHERRY: The red, sweet fruit of the cherry symbolizes the sweetness of character which is derived from good works. It is often called the Fruit of Paradise. A cherry, held in the hand of the Christ Child, suggests the delights of the blessed.

GRAPES: Bunches of grapes with ears of grain are symbols of Holy Communion. Representations of labor in the vineyard sometimes signify the work of good Christians in the vineyard of the Lord; the grape vine or leaf is used as an emblem of the Savior, the 'true vine'.

LEMON: The lemon is a symbol of fidelity in love, and, as such, is associated with the Virgin Mary.

ORANGE: The orange tree is regarded as a symbol of purity, chastity, and generosity. Thus it is occasionally depicted in paintings of the Virgin Mary. The orange tree was sometimes used instead of the apple tree or the fig tree in scenes showing the fall of man. When it is seen in representations of Paradise, it alludes to the fall of man and his redemption. Its white flower is also used to suggest purity, and for this reason orange blossoms are the traditional adornment of brides.

PINEAPPLE: While pineapples are never directly mentioned in the Bible, they’ve been used as a symbol in Christianity from time to time. Due to their associations with generosity, they were often consumed at religious feasts to symbolize warmth, prosperity and friendship.

POMEGRANATE: In Catholic symbolism, the pomegranate as a rule alludes to the Church because of the inner unity of countless seeds in one and the same fruit. Because of its many seeds, it was also a symbol of fertility, and resurrection. It is often depicted in paintings with the Virgin and Child.

STRAWBERRY: The strawberry is the symbol of perfect righteousness, or the emblem of the righteous man whose fruits are good works. When shown with other fruits and flowers, it represents the good works of the righteous or the fruits of the Holy Spirit. It is in line with this meaning that the Virgin is sometimes shown clad in a dress decorated with clusters of strawberries because she is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. The strawberry is occasionally shown accompanied by violets to suggest that the truly spiritual are always humble.
