The fig tree was a symbol of Mithras. Mithras and Jesus were competing saviors around the time the Gospels were written.

>>>The Mithras legend has been lost, and can be reconstructed only from the scenes on the above described relief. Mithras was born of a rock, the marvel being seen only by certain shepherds, who brought gifts and adored him. Chilled by the wind, the new-born god went to a fig-tree, partook of its fruit, and clothed himself in its leaves.<<<<
