Easter is my favorite holiday. Because of the fact that Easter reminds me of eternity and life is anew. Many countries celebrate Easter in different ways. However, it’s for the same reason as here. This is highly evident in the Christian world.

Easter is the one holiday where Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are many ways that Easter flowers can be used in this celebration. As centerpieces, Easter gifts, etc.

All over the world, Easter Flowers are used in churches at Easter. Here in America this flower is normally the “Lily of the Valley”.

The legend behind the “Lily of the Valley” a/k/a “Easter Lily”:

They’ve often been called the “white-robed apostles of hope,”. Lilies were found growing in the garden of Gethsemane after Christ’s crucifixion. Legends told: has it that the white lilies come up where drops of Christ’s sweat fell to the ground in his final hours of sorrow and distress. And another tell of the same only; that the white lilies come up where his drops of blood fell.

Either way; due to the legends, the Easter is a sign of resurrection & the hope of eternal life.
