Origin & Lore

This is a single-note oil named for the Easter lily, Lilium longiflorum, native to the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan. In the West it became the symbol of Easter and resurrection, and white lilies in general have long stood for purity, rebirth and the passage of souls.

The white trumpet of the Easter lily is the flower of resurrection in Christian tradition, filling churches every spring.

In Christian art the lily is the flower of the Virgin Mary, often shown in the angel’s hand at the Annunciation, and white lilies became the customary flower of Easter and of funerals. Lilium longiflorum was brought to Bermuda and then to the United States in the nineteenth century, where it took over the name Easter lily.
