It grows in Palestine (Israel) in valleys up to an elevation of 500m.〔Zohary M. Flora Palaestina. II. Jerusalem: The Israel Academy of Science and Humanities; 1972. pp. 307–308 cited in 〕 By some traditions, it was the tree from which Jesus' Crown of Thorns was made. The ripe fruits are edible, and the flowers are an important source of honey in Eritrea and Yemen.〔()〕 In Palestine a hundred years ago it was called ''sidr'' and was common in the Jordan valley and around Jerusalem.〔Easton, M.G., M.A., D.D. (1893) 'Illustrated Bible Dictionary and Treasury of Biblical History, Biography, Geography, Doctrine, and Literature With Numerous Illustrations and Important Chronological Tables and Maps.'' T. Nelson and Sons, London, Edinburgh and New York. p.688. "It overruns a great part of the Jordan valley." p.174. Easton argues that the spina-christi is too brittle to be bent into a crown. He suggests another local plant which he says is called "nabk".〕 There were some folklore traditions that said the trees were protected by benevolent spirits or dead saints (''weli''). The bedouin valued the fruit, calling it ''nabk''. It could be dried and kept for winter or made into a paste which was used as bread. In Jerusalem ''Z. spina-christi'' crowns were sold to pilgrims.〔Crowfoot, M. Grace with Louise Baldenserger (1932) ''From Cedar to Hyssop. A study in the Folklore of Plants in Palestine''. The Sheldon Press, London. pp.112,113〕 The nineteenth century English explorer, Richard Burton reported seeing an ancient ''sidr'' tree in the mosque containing the Prophet Muhammad's tomb in Medina. It was in a garden dedicated to the prophet's daughter, Fatimah. The fruit from the tree was being sold to pilgrims and its leaves used for washing dead bodies.〔 Burton, Sir Richard Francis (1855) ''A Personal Narrative of a Pilgrimage to Al-Madinah and Meccah'' p.337〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ziziphus spina-christi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
