Among all the typical Easter flowers, white lilies carry a strong tradition of being the most symbolic flower of the holiday. This is because the lily appears numerous times in the Bible during the Easter story. It's associated with the purity of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. The white lily is also symbolic of rebirth and new beginnings. Since Easter celebrates the story of Jesus's resurrection, this flower's meaning is easily accepted into the traditional canon of Easter flowers. In pre-Christian times, the lily was also associated with thanking mothers for their devotion and love. When you combine these elements, you can see how deeply meaningful the white lily is during the spring for people across different cultures, faiths, and timelines. Here are some of our favorite Easter lily arrangements that you can pre-order for the big day.
