Flowers for Orthodox Christians To Use On The Occasion Of Easter

Flowers have a very symbolic and important role to play in Easter celebrations according to the Julian calendar, one of the holiest festivals that is observed by Orthodox Christians to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, you can use flowers in various ways this Easter – decorating your house, gift items and so on. But before you utilise flowers for commemorating Easter right after the Orthodox Good Friday on 29th April, it is important to understand the meaning associated with each one so that you don't have problem choosing the right flowers as gift items or for decorating your home. 

Let’s have a look at some common Easter blooms in Newborough and their significance:

Chrysanthemums : 

Being one of the most popularly used flowers during Easter, chrysanthemums are ideal to give away as gifts or decorate a centrepiece with. Nearly all shades of these florals are considered to symbolise cheerfulness, except yellow. Yellow chrysanthemums signify slighted love, which does not actually suit the theme of the festival.

Lilies : 

White lilies are considered to represent love and hope in Easter celebrations. Their bulb is actually believed to symbolise the rising of Christ. Some people even say white lily portrays the purity and divinity of Jesus Christ. It is one of the main reasons why churches are often decorated using white lilies for the occasion of Easter. These blooms can also be gifted to someone for appreciating their presence in one’s life.

Azaleas :

Azaleas symbolise a plethora of emotions, but primarily fragility, temperance and passion. A bunch of azaleas is ideal as a gift for reminding someone to take good care of themselves. These florals also symbolise womanhood in certain parts of the world, and can therefore be given to women during Easter.

Hyacinth :

Hyacinths are generally found in a wide variety of shades, ranging from light pink and purple to bright blue. These traditional Easter blooms have a very unique appearance, and are usually used for filling out arrangements, centrepieces, bouquets and wreaths.

Daisies :

Conventionally signifying purity, gentleness, loyalty and innocence, white daisies are perfect to be used for the purpose of Easter decor. Sometimes, they are even complemented with gerbera daisies for adding some extra panache and colour.

Most of these florals can easily be found at any local specialty store. There are some florists who even provide online ordering services and flower delivery in Newborough. However, one must be careful enough to make sure that they choose a good florist when buying the flowers because only a good florist will offer quality product and timely delivery service to its customers.
