She also uses the masculine: “illius quem.” He is figuratively the tree, so she is the one sitting under it. +The Christ is like an apple tree, providing good food, versus the other trees of the forest (secular society) which do not provide food. The desired one is the Christ; those who rest in His shadow find true rest in His teachings and true food in the Eucharist.(Conte)
