Houghton gave the bulbs to his friends and family members, who began to cultivate them and sell them commercially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center is-image-fill\" style=\"grid-template-columns:56% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/dizexseir\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679948674\/Happy-easter\/Happy-easter.png?_i=AA);background-position:49% 69%\"><img width=\"1227\" height=\"636\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMjI3IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjYzNiI+PHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9IjEwMCUiIGhlaWdodD0iMTAwJSI+PGFuaW1hdGUgYXR0cmlidXRlTmFtZT0iZmlsbCIgdmFsdWVzPSJyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuNSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjEpO3JnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KSIgZHVyPSIycyIgcmVwZWF0Q291bnQ9ImluZGVmaW5pdGUiIC8+PC9yZWN0Pjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-post-5453440 wp-image-5462381 size-full\" data-public-id=\"Happy-easter\/Happy-easter.png\" data-format=\"png\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1679948674\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" data-size=\"1227 636\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:32px\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:17px\">Make your family and friends feel special by sending the best Easter flowers, bouquets, and floral arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snapblooms.com\/occasions\/easter\/flower-delivery\/32789\">Buy Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, the Easter lily became a popular flower for the Easter season, thanks in part to its large, trumpet-shaped flowers and sweet fragrance.

In Christian traditions, the lily is often associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the promise of eternal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most famous biblical references to the lily comes from the book of Matthew in the New Testament. In chapter 6, Jesus tells his followers not to worry about their lives, saying, &#8220;Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these&#8221; (Matthew 6:28-29, NRSV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This passage has been interpreted to mean that believers should trust in God&#8217;s provision and care, just as the lilies in the field are taken care of by God. In this way, the Easter lily has become a symbol of faith and trust in God&#8217;s goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Easter_Lily_Traditions\"><\/span><strong>Easter Lily Traditions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img width=\"900\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI5MDAiIGhlaWdodD0iNjAwIj48cmVjdCB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxMDAlIj48YW5pbWF0ZSBhdHRyaWJ1dGVOYW1lPSJmaWxsIiB2YWx1ZXM9InJnYmEoMTUzLDE1MywxNTMsMC41KTtyZ2JhKDE1MywxNTMsMTUzLDAuMSk7cmdiYSgxNTMsMTUzLDE1MywwLjUpIiBkdXI9IjJzIiByZXBlYXRDb3VudD0iaW5kZWZpbml0ZSIgLz48L3JlY3Q+PC9zdmc+\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-post-5453440 wp-image-5463069\" data-public-id=\"image-26\/image-26.png\" data-format=\"png\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1679949858\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" data-size=\"900 600\" data-delivery=\"upload\" onload=\";window.CLDBind?CLDBind(this):null;\" data-cloudinary=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption><strong>Easter Lily Traditions<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In many Christian churches, Easter lilies are used to decorate the altar and other parts of the sanctuary during the Easter season. The lilies are often arranged in large bouquets or baskets, creating a beautiful and fragrant display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.snapblooms.com\/blog\/lily-flower-meaning\/\" style=\"border-radius:15px\">Learn About Lilies<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In some traditions, the Easter lily is also used to symbolize the resurrection of Jesus Christ. During the Easter Vigil, a special service held on the night before Easter Sunday, the church is darkened and then the Paschal candle is lit, symbolizing the light of Christ. As the candle is carried through the church, parishioners may hold Easter lilies or other flowers as a symbol of the new life that comes with the resurrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snapblooms.com\/blog\/what-flowers-should-you-send-for-easter-sunday\/\">What Flowers Should You Send for Easter Sunday?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of the church, Easter lilies are also a popular gift for loved ones during the Easter season.
