M2 - Lily

The lily is the flower of purity.  It is a symbol of the Virgin Mary, the purest vessel to give birth to a perfect son, Jesus.  (Luke 1:28-30)  She is “the ark of his covenant”.   Jesus is the new covenant.  (Revelation 11:19-12:1)

Wings are the symbol of divine mission.  Angels have wings because they do God’s holy work (Luke 2:10) and can protect us.  (Psalm 91:11) Angels are mentioned over 400 times in the Bible.

The arrows point towards heaven, which is where the rising Christ is ascending -going in order to prepare a place for us.  (Mark 16:19-20, John 14:1-3) We await the second coming.  Lord Jesus, come in glory! (Luke 20:25, Revelation 22:20)
