О ней – слово святителя Иоанна Златоуста.

The linden tree is one of the oldest tree species on God's green earth. Large-leaved linden trees have been known to live up to 600 years! It is sacred throughout history for many cultures and religions. Greek and Slavic cultures used to plant linden close to churches, houses, and important meetings places. They believed that lightening would not hit the holy tree, so people hid underneath it during thunderstorms. If there was an ill person or kettle at home, linden branches were brought for healing. Nobody was supposed to break or cut the tree without special needs. In the Slavic Orthodox Christian world, lindenwood was the preferred wood for panel icon painting including the linden icons by the hand of Andrei Rublev.
Linden has been mentioned in literature by poets and writers such as Russian Anton Chekhov and Lev Tolstoy.
