Devotional Easter Lilies Lily Resurrection Spring Verse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Easter card from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s, features a beautiful white lily and a cross, symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The lily, a traditional Easter flower, represents purity and innocence, while the cross signifies the sacrifice and redemption brought about by Christ's death and resurrection. The intricate detailing on the card's border and the delicate shading on the lily petals showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The verse printed on the card reads, "He is not here, for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. He is not here; for He has risen, as He said." (Matthew 28:6-7). This devotional message serves as a poignant reminder of the central tenet of the Christian faith: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Springtime, with its renewal and rebirth, has long been associated with the celebration of Easter. This card, with its stunning floral design and religious symbolism, encapsulates the essence of the holiday and the hope it brings. The late Victorian era, marked by its ornate art and deep religious sentiment, provides the perfect backdrop for this Easter card. This historical treasure, now preserved in the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, offers a glimpse into the past and the rich cultural traditions that continue to shape our lives today. The White lily and cross on an Easter card serve as a timeless reminder of the power of faith, hope, and the enduring promise of new beginnings.
