Images of lilies were discovered in a villa in Crete as far back as 1580 B.C. These flowers also have a role in ancient mythology and the Greeks believed the lily sprouted from the milk of Hera, the queen of the gods.
For those born in May, the lily is their birth flower and it is also the flower for a 30th-anniversary celebration. White lilies symbolize chastity and virtue. Lilies symbolize the purity of the Virgin Mary. They also symbolize that the innocence of the dear departed has been restored after death and therefore are often the flowers of choice at funerals.

I had these lilies in my garden many years ago.
I am not fond of flowers but sometimes I appreciate the color and the scent.
They are not my birth flowers but gorgeous!
I love white lilies. I have few pots with white lilies in my house but, the flower of my zodiac sign is carnation, as far as I know!
How wonderful that you grow lilies at home, Ileana
White lilies are always beautiful and heart touching
They are indeed a beautiful flower.
I was born in the third week of May and happy to know lilies are my birth flower
A very lovely flower for a birth flower, Grace my mom was also born in May
they are not my birth flower, but they are lovely. Were they not once the flower of death?
I have mentioned it, Doc that these are often thought to be funeral flowers
sorry i meant from a literary since (hit post comment to far) lillys were often portrayed as the harbinger of death.
I looked that up, Doc and they say the poisonous Calla lily is the one that symbolizes death from what information I got. I never knew that.
sorry about my confusing opening comment. I had read that many years ago and for some unknown reason it did not come back out correctly in the comment.
