Popular Flowers for Easter · Easter/Passover Statistics

In Christianity Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Passover is the celebration of the Israelites being freed from slavery. Easter is a time to celebrate your faith, as well as the love of your family. According to Christian legend, carnations sprouted from the ground where Mary's tears fell as she wept at the foot of the cross where Jesus died, and therefore are associated with a mother's undying love. The white lily is strongly linked with Mary throughout art history, symbolizing her virginity, purity, and majesty.
