Lilies have been seen in art and literature as symbols of purity virtue, innocence, hope and life-the spiritual essence of Easter. According to the Getty Museum, the white lily represented chastity in Renaissance manuscripts. Artists as early as the 1400s depicted lilies alongside the Virgin Mary. Paintings showing the Annunciation often include the Angel Gabriel holding a sheaf of lilies. In the Bible, Jesus is quoted as saying, "Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” (Luke 12:27).
Roman mythology has associates the White Lily with Juno, the Queen of Gods. Legend has it that once a portion of Queen Juno's milk once fell on earth while she was feeding her baby. The spot where Juno's milk was spilled was the first place where white lilies grew.
The white lilies have been a fitting symbol for the greater meaning of Easter as they carry the message of joy, hope and life. Gifting white lilies during the time of Easter to family and friends is the best way to remind that Easter is a time to rejoice and celebrate.
Due to the connection of the White Lily with the resurrection of Jesus Christ and also because of its delicate form and snow white color, some Christians call it the “flowers of God”.
