Lilies are beautiful flowers and giving them during the Easter season has become a very traditional thing to do.
With all the symbolism and meanings surrounding the lily, especially at Easter, giving them as gifts is a very special way to honor the meanings of all that Easter represents to Christians.
Lilies have been around since at least 1500 B.
C.
and have a long history of being given as gifts.
White lilies are especially meaningful around Easter.
The white Madonna symbolizing chastity and virtue are representative the Virgin Mary's purity.
White stargazer lilies express sympathy and perhaps the most representative of the Easter holiday are the lilies of the valley which are representative of humility and devotion.
