Flowers for Our Lady of Guadalupe

Description

What Flowers and Colors are Symbolic of Our Lady?

The colors of this celebration are very bright! Reds, pinks, blues, greens and white  rule the day, and flowers also play a major decorative and symbolic role as they are used to adorn shrines, homes, floats, and people.

It’s not surprising that flowers are so closely associated with Our Lady.  In the past as well as the present, flowers have often been used as representations of virtue and viewed as faithful symbols of purity and innocence–the very traits most lauded in the Blessed Virgin.
