Easter lilies

Church altar flowers

Easter lilies are white trumpet-shaped flowers traditionally used in Christian church decorations during Easter celebrations.

The flowers bloom in spring and symbolize purity, hope, and resurrection.

The altar was covered with Easter lilies.

Native to Japan, the bulbs are now cultivated primarily in the Pacific Northwest for the American holiday market.
