Pictured above is a bouquet of Easter Lilies. Many were buying these beautiful bouquets. According to the University of Nevada in Reno is:
"Mentioned many times in the Bible, the white lily symbolizes purity, rebirth, new beginnings and hope and is most often associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ as observed on Easter. In Pagan traditions, the Easter lily is associated with motherhood and is often gifted to mothers as a symbol of gratitude."
And I was reminded of this quote by Rumi.
"The rose does best as a rose. Lilies make the best lilies. And look! You - the best you around!"
~ Rumi
And this one by Emily Dickinson,
"The only Commandment I ever obeyed — 'Consider the Lilies."
~ Emily Dickinson
Happy Saturday Afternoon & Evening!
