Legend of The Easter Flower
————————
Until the first Easter, the flower known today as the "Easter Lily" was naught but a small white flower, hanging so close to the ground that it scarcely could be seen.
Folk wondered at the strange delicate perfume that often filled the air, Little did they realise that it
came from the tiny unseen flower!
Because of a yearning to serve humanity
and to share with the world its delicate perfume, it prayed to God to be allowed to become the most beautiful of white flowers. But first it had a real service to perform, to prove its worthiness.
As it grew in great abundance in the Garden of Gethsemane, its perfume blessed the Saviour as He knelt in prayer. In tender solicitude it nestled close to the cross of Calvary as the Saviour hung there.
Because of its sympathetic, understanding love the plant grew to its full height, and the tender white blossom looked up into the Saviour's face.
The purity of its face, the sweetness of its character, the meekness of its life were shared in mute understanding by the Man of Galilee.

Buds and Blossoms would love to be the reason you smell the Blessed and Delicate perfume of the Easter Flower.
