There are many flowers that have come to be representative of the spring season. The Easter lily may have the most significant meaning of all the spring flowers, as it is closely associated with Christian observances of Easter. The graceful, trumpet-shaped lily speaks to purity, rebirth, innocence and enduring hope; all traits characteristic of the story of Jesus and His resurrection. Because of the Biblical connection and church tradition, white Easter lilies adorn most Christian religious services across America. A single white lily is also considered a heartfelt gift for someone you care about deeply.
