The Easter holiday is a holy time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While many people associate the season with warm weather, decorative eggs, brunch with family and friends, and adorable bunnies, it is a very significant occasion on the Christian calendar.
For those who celebrate, Easter includes religious services, prayers, feasts and reunions with loved ones. While religion is the most prominent reason for the holiday, there are common flowers and festivities that have become connected to Easter. In fact, there are certain flowers that are commonly incorporated into church services.
To help you better understand the meaning behind Easter flowers, take a look at the list below. Not only are these flowers often found in a place of worship during the Easter holiday, but many people gift them to their friends and relatives in celebration of spring time and Easter.
Lilies
White lilies are a very popular symbol of Easter. They are often displayed in religious services because of their representation of love and hope. Originally sprouting from a bulb, the single stemmed flower exemplifies the resurrection of Jesus three days after his crucifixion. According to the Bible, white lilies were grown where drops of blood fell from the body of Jesus. There are several biblical connections between Easter and white lilies making them the perfect gift for your Easter host.
