macro- According to the Bible, petals of white lily signify virginity, purity and the radiant soul of Virgin Mary. This notion of purity had been with the lily flower since the ancient days. The Chinese and the Greeks had linked white lily to purity. To the Chinese, the symbolic meaning of lily is summer and abundance. The lily flower meanings mainly symbolize the western deities. The Greeks believe that Lilies were born out of the breast milk of Goddess Hera, but the Romans give this honor to their Goddess Juno. Lily is also associated with the Roman Goddess Venus.

Beautiful lily. I especially like the light, exposing the leaf veins. Nice color and clear details.
