Historically, the Easter Lily has been used to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope for life everlasting. Churches line their altars and surround their crosses with masses of Easter Lilies.They are beautiful and I am certainly not going to take away any of the symbolism that goes along with the flower in reference to what it represents for many Christians. I will, however, compare the resiliency of the dandelion to the perseverance of Jesus Christ, and pose the question "Why the Easter Lily and Not the Dandelion?"
