The Easter Lily

        

                                  ~~The Easter Lily~~

           

           For many the beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers symbolize:

                

                   ~PURITY~VIRTUE~INNOCENCE~PEACE~HOPE & LIFE~

                          

                                  The Essence of Easter

History, literature, poetry and the world of art overflow with stories

 and images that speak of the beauty and majesty of the elegant white

 flowers. Often called the “White-Robed Apostles of Hope,” lilies were

found growing in the Garden of Gethsemane after Christ’s agony. 

      Tradition has it that the beautiful white lilies sprung up where

 drops of Christ’s sweat fell to the ground in his final hours of sorrow

 and deep distress. Churches continue this tradition at Easter time by

 banking their altars & surrounding their crosses with masses of 

Easter Lilies, to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ &

                                   hope of life everlasting.

        Be  Blessed with Peace, Hope & Love this Resurrection Week
