Fun fact, the pineal gland and the pine cone come from the same root, because the pine cone is shaped similarly to the pineal gland. The pope staff has a pine cone on it. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PWTXt_2l42o/UUEH5nqL47I/AAAAAAAABAE/XOkhg3iFPvo/s1600/Cone08.jpg

Ancient civilizations considered the pine cone to be traditionally associated with immortality and knowledge.

The pineal gland is what allows the eye to process light and is considered by many to be the "third eye".

Also, the world's largest pine cone sculpture is in the vatican, along with an empty casket representing the second birth (of course they won't tell you that in the fucking tour)
