This is my 047.365 photo. Today's theme is, "
What are some traditional lucky symbols that you can think of? How has our culture created its own perception of what brings luck (and what brings bad luck?).". Due to its long life, Elephants are a Symbol of overcoming death. Elephant figurines placed on shelves or by doorways are said to ensure longevity and luck. This elephant sits next to our front door and front porch window. The story behind this elephant is when my Opa passed away and my parents moved my Oma into their home, all the grandchildren were asked if there was something special we would like to have from Oma and Opa's home - my husband's first response, "I want the elephant!". I don't believe this elephant brings us any sort of luck or longevity - but it's presence in our home brings back memories of my grandparents.
