The Pineapple – Symbol of Hospitality

The pineapple has been a universal symbol of hospitality and welcome for many centuries all over the world.

To the Caribbean’s, the pineapple symbolized hospitality, and the Spaniards soon learned they were welcome if a pineapple was placed by the entrance to a village. This symbolism spread to Europe, then to Colonial North America, where it became the custom to carve the shape of a pineapple into the columns at the entrance of a plantation.

Another story tells that New England ship captains would return from their journeys and would put a pineapple around people’s houses as a symbol of a safe return. The pineapple has such a unique style to it that it was often used as the centerpiece in food banquets. The pineapple remains the symbol of hospitality today. A warm welcoming sense that says you are welcome to come in.
