The Symbolism of White
White has traditionally symbolized innocence, purity, goodness. This
symbolism is reflected in culture throughout the ages.
The White Rose
Historically,
the white rose has been adopted as a symbol by a number of groups: including
Yorkshire, an Anti-Nazi resistance group,
and a civil liberties protest blog.
Easter
White is the traditional color for Easter, signifying light, purity and joy. Early Christians believed the week before Easter was a good time to be baptized. They wore new, white clothes as a sign of their new life, and so the week before Easter became known as
'white week' .
Easter Lily
Because the traditional Easter color is white, a white lily has long been considered to be the Easter flower. The Easter Lily, Lilium
Longiflorum, is a Japanese white lily introduced into America in the 19th Century, and now grown commercially in America for the Easter season.
The beautiful trumpet-shaped white flowers symbolize the spiritual essence of
Easter - purity, virtue, innocence, hope and life.
