Easter Weekend

Countdown to the Royal Wedding - Pink Saturday

Welcome to the Gracie Jewellery countdown to the Royal Wedding- Part 9

6 Days to go.

With thanks to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting our weekly meeting.

The magnificent white lily known as the Easter Lily has long stood as a symbol of purity, hope, innocence and peace. Also called the Bermuda lily, the Trumpet lily, and Jacob's Tears, the Easter lily is a biblical flower commonly associated with the resurrection of Christ.

In Christian tradition, the Easter lily signifies rebirth and a new beginning. It is said that beautiful white lilies sprang up in the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus wept in the last hours before he was betrayed by Judas. Another legend claims that the white lilies grew from the repentant tears shed by Eve upon her departure from Paradise.

The lily is mentioned frequently throughout the bible and serves today as a beautiful reminder of the significance of the Easter season.

Wishing all of you a very Happy Easter.
