Description

White Calla Lilies hold the admirable symbolism of purity, innocence and FAITH, which is, naturally, gained and strengthened by the first two of the three. Saint Anthony of Padua, a most popular and always PRAYED to Franciscan Saint, is often pictured holding a lily and, of course, images always hold the cherished memory of a story that will assure a moment remains in bloom! On June 13th, Saint Anthony's Feast Day, in the year 1680, a pure and beautiful lily was, innocently and in great FAITH, placed into the hand of a statue of this LOVING Saint who always PRAYS OUR PRAYERS! As if recognizing its holy placement and the FAITH that it was delivered in, the lily remained fresh in its blossom and so fragrant that its wonderful aroma filled the church for the whole year after which it then grew two more flowers! Such a miracle was the beginning of many more into the future, all with the lily at the center of each story leading the FAITHFUL further into purity of heart and in innocent GOODNESS, toward this passionate Saint knows for his talented speaking while yet, believed in for his perfection in hearing us. SAINT ANTHONY, in our gratitude, PLEASE PLAY FOR US!
