Easter Lily
Easter lilies bloomed
where His sweat fell to the ground
hope of Christ's return
a garden pure white
life everlasting
By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders
*The Easter lily symbolizes purity, hope and life.
Tradition has it that lilies were growing in the Garden of
Gethsemane after Christ's crucifixion, and lilies
bloomed where his sweat fell, the hope of everlasting life.
