“The Easter Lily is renowned for its role as a symbol of purity, hope, and resurrection associated with Easter. This tradition dates back to the late 19th century when the flower was first introduced to the United States from Japan. By the 20th century, the flower had become emblematic of Easter celebrations, often adorning churches and homes in observance of the holiday. Its significance is rooted in Christian lore, where lilies are said to have grown from the tears of Jesus as he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, symbolizing the hope of resurrection and new life.”
