The Healing Lily Colorful Art by Olga Hamilton
In the Middle Ages the symbols of lily and fleur-de-lis overlapped considerably in Christian religious art. Michel Pastoureau, the historian, says that until about 1300 they were found in depictions of Jesus, but gradually they took on Marian symbolism and were associated with the Song of Solomon's "lily among thorns" (lilium inter spinas), understood as a reference to Mary. Other scripture and religious literature in which the lily symbolizes purity and chastity also helped establish the flower as an iconographic attribute of the Virgin. It was also believed that the fleur-de-lis represented the Holy Trinity. (Post, W. Ellwood (1986). Saints, Signs, and Symbols.) The three petals of the heraldic design reflect a widespread association with the Holy Trinity, with the band on the bottom symbolizing Mary. The tradition says that without Mary you can not understand the Trinity since it was she who bore the Son. A tradition going back to 14th century France added onto the earlier belief that they also represented faith, wisdom and chivalry. ( Church Symbolism - F. R. Webber, Ralph Adams Cram)
I graduated from the Kemerovo State University of Culture and the Arts in Russia with a Specialist Degree in Theater Arts and Theatrical Education. I'm a self taught photographer and artist. Videography, Photography, and art is not just my profession and passion, but I would say it is also some kind of meditation and compilation process for me that helps to abstract my mind, and I'm glad to share my visions with you. Thank you very much for your interest. Olga Hamilton
