Ha ha! I honestly thought this was a hate speech political slogan when I saw it at first! Mark Richards 00:01, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
do it!! But it was rather interesting to know the botanical details after only having only seen the strange plant on a holiday tour. --Yak 00:03, Feb 20, 2004 (UTC)
- Is the monastery actually claimed to have been built on the site, or is it just that the bush has been transplanted from wherever it was? I seem to recall that Rebecca's well is also there, just a few yards away from the bush. Deb 19:19, 20 Feb 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Euonymus
"Shrubs in the genus Euonymus, mostly known as spindles, in the family Celastraceae, are also called burning bush in North America, because of their bright red foliage in fall."
As far as I know, the only species of Euonymus refered to as 'burning bush' is E. alatus. Not all species/cultivars bear red fall colour. In fact, some are evergreens.
[edit] Angel of the Lord
In Exodus 3 it says that "The Angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight - why the bush does not burn up." When The Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." Then He said, "I Am The God of your father, The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God." Yet there is no reference to "the Angel of the Lord in this article.Elatanatari 04:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
