Tradition and History of the Cornucopia
The cornucopia dates back to the 5th Century BC as a symbol of food and abundance. Throughout history, it's also been called Horn of Plenty, Horn of Amalthea (taken from the Greek myth explained below) and harvest cone.
In Greek mythology, the horn of plenty contained an endless supply of food and drink, filling itself with whatever the owner requested. It was said to have been a horn of the goat Amalthaea. She was the stepmother of Zeus, who nursed him as an infant. The myth states that Zeus turned one of her horns into the cornucopia and placed her image in the sky as the star Capella, in the constellation of Capricorn.
The word ?cornucopia? is a Latin construction of ?cornu?, meaning horn, and ?copia? meaning plenty. The cornucopia is a sign of abundance, often used as the centerpiece at the Thanksgiving table. North American Thanksgiving may have links to European harvest festivals, which some claim as the source of the tradition of the cornucopia?at harvest festivals, European farmers would celebrate by filling a goat?s horn with grain and fruit.
The cornucopia is a must-have decoration at any Thanksgiving gathering or fall celebration. Our Fresh Flower Cornucopia is fragrant and festive, and brings together the best of those ancient cornucopia traditions.
