EASTER LILIES
The magnetic and beautiful flowers of Springtime. Everyone loves this flower. The name, Lily, is originated from the Latin name, ‘Lilium longiforu’, a plant native to the southern Ryukyu Islands of Japan.
Throughout the ages, Easter Lilies have symbolized purity, beauty, and the promise of life everlasting. It is also referenced in many biblical stories and often called the "white-robed apostles of hope," these fragrant flowers reflect the deep meaning of the Resurrection.
When Eve was banished from the Garden of Eden, she shed tears of repentance and from her tears sprang lilies.
The pure white Easter lily is also associated with motherhood. In early biblical paintings, the angel Gabriel is pictured extending a bunch of white lilies to the Virgin Mary announcing she was to be the mother of Jesus Christ. The lily is also revered as it was found growing in the garden of Gethsemane after Christ's agony.
Renowned as a mark of purity and grace, the lily is the perfect symbol to represent Easter.
The Easter lily was imported to the U.S. in 1875 by a tourist who visited Japan. The lily grew in popularity, and by 1941 North American residents were importing lily bulbs in great quantities. World War II ended the dependence on Japanese-produced bulbs. Commercial production then shifted to the United States.
