If you ever wondered what my room smells like it smells like church incense lol Lily of the valley, frankincense and myrrh I buy it from the catholic church supply store ;) now for the #themoreyouknow post of today. History of Lily of the Valley Two of the flower’s alternative names — Our Lady's tears and Mary's tears — derive from Christian teachings that it sprang from the weeping of the Virgin Mary during the crucifixion of Jesus. Other etiologies have its coming into being from Eve's tears after she was driven with Adam from the Garden of Eden or from the blood shed by Saint Leonard of Noblac during his battles with a dragon.The name "lily of the valley" is used in some English translations of the Bible in Song of Songs 2:1, but the Hebrew phrase "shoshannat-ha-amaqim" in the original text (literally "lily of the valleys") does not refer to this plant. It is possible, though, that the biblical phrase may have had something to do with the origin or development of the modern plant-name.It is a symbol of humility in religious painting. Lily of the valley is considered the sign of Christ's second coming. The power of people to envision a better world was also attributed to the lily of the valley #funfact #funfacts #history #learnsomething #learnsomethingnew #weirdfacts #funfactswithjenice #mythandlegend #historyablastfromthepast #historyfacts #foodforthought #neverstoplearning #weirdstories #weirdhistory #think #learn #brainbasedfitness and I always #blameitonthebuttercat #Lilyofthevalley #churchhistory #incense #faith #resinincense #smellofchurch #biblicalhistory #relaxinginteriors (at Queen Creek, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwOFyuXBClZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w24j7raz6qoj
