Easter was early this year so my Easter Lily didn't make it for Easter. I found this bit of information to be very interesting:
History, mythology,
literature, poetry and the world of art are rife 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 and
surrounding their crosses with masses of Easter Lilies, to commemorate
the resurrection of Jesus Christ and hope of life everlasting. http://www.appleseeds.org/easter-lily.htm
