Questions and Answers

Why are white lilies specifically associated with Mary in classical art?
White lilies symbolize purity, innocence, and spiritual clarity. In historical paintings, the spotless white petals represented devotion, while the green stem reflected grace.
How do lilies grow in garden settings?
Lilies grow from underground bulbs that store energy through the winter. In spring and early summer, sturdy stalks rise from the ground, producing multiple large blossoms per stem.
