About this Global Cover Collection Edition:

The Easter Lily symbolizes Easter and is closely associated with the Vatican City. The pure white flowers are a symbol of the resurrection of Christ and his purity. In the Vatican, these flowers typically decorate the altar on Easter Sunday, adding to the solemnity of the occasion. Additionally, the shape of the Easter Lily is thought to resemble a trumpet, which is significant because in biblical times, trumpets were used to announce important events and declarations. Overall, the Easter Lily has come to represent the hope and renewal that Easter brings and is a fitting symbol for one of the holiest days in the Christian calendar.
