The legend behind the "Lily of the Valley" a/k/a "Easter Lily":

"White Robed Apostles of Hope" is what many have called this beautiful flower. Because; after Jesus was crucified, lilies were found at the garden of Gethsemane. Some told that they were there from the sweat of His brow and others told that they were from the drops of His blood.
