I only understand part of your question.

The sycamore was the Tree of Life in Egypt, and also in Assyria.

It was sacred to Hathor at Heliopolis; and is now sacred in the same place to the Virgin Mary.

Its juice was precious by virtue of its occult powers

" The fruit and sap of the Tree of Life bestow immortality."
