    • Hi Toni, This is a lovely album of these beautiful lillies. I can almost smell their lovely fragrance. Thank you so much for taking a lot of time to go all the way through my Sunflwoer album, and then to additionally go through my Chickasaw Recreation Area album as well. That took a lot of time and I'm honored. ..Betty

    • Hi my dearest friend. Many thanks for your wonderful message of congrats on my featured album yesterday (Seascapes). Sorry for being a little too late to respond to your message. Half a dozen shots in this album are latest additions I made a month or so ago. Capturing the editors' attention is great indeed (especially on such short notice), but nothing compares to getting a deluge of messages and comments from this wonderful Webshots community, so full of stunning people and incredible friends like yourself. Thanks for the support and for being such an amazing friend. Warmest regards from Jorge. Cheers!

    • St. Anthony's Lily Pictures and statues of St. Anthony of Padua often portray him holding a Lily. This beautiful flower has long been regarded as in Christian art as a symbol of integrity of life. In many parts of the world, Lilies are in bloom in the middle of June when the feast of St. Anthony is observed. This custom is associated with an unusual event that took place on Corsica during the French Revolution. Franciscans on the island had been forced to leave, but people continued to honor St. Anthony as the friars had taught them. On his feast, bouquets of Lilies were placed at the Saint's shrine in the deserted church. Many month's later, the Lilies were found still fresh and white. Permission to bless Lilies in honor of St. Anthony was given by Pope Leo XIII.
