The cypress tree carries strong cultural associations: considered a mourning tree in Greek mythology, linked to Hades, and historically used by Phoenicians and Cretans for ship and house building. Egyptians fashioned sarcophagi from its wood, Greeks carved statues from it, and legend connects its timber to the cross of Jesus; the botanical name 'Sempervirens' means 'live forever'.
