sacred oak
Druid's revered tree
Sacred oak refers to oak trees held in religious or spiritual reverence, particularly in ancient European traditions.
Oaks were central to Celtic druid worship, Germanic tribal religion, and Greek devotion to Zeus.
The phrase evokes pre-Christian nature worship and the idea of groves as holy places: The druids gathered beneath the sacred oak.
Today it appears in historical, literary, and neopagan contexts.
