Description
Lily of the Valley, is a sweetly scented (and highly poisonous) woodland flowering plant that is native throughout the cool temperate Northern Hemisphere in Asia, Europe and in the southern Appalachian Mountains in the United States.
Christian legend has it that the flower lily of the valley is also known as Our Lady's tears or Mary's tears from Christian legends that it sprang from the weeping of the Virgin Mary during the crucifixion of Jesus. Other etiologies its coming into being from Eve's tears after she was driven with Adam from the Garden of Eden.
The lily of the valley is a symbol of humility in religious painting. It is considered the sign of Christ's second coming.
Prince William and Catherine Middleton used lily of the valley in the wedding bouquet.
