I walked outside today to find that my irises has bloomed overnight. My first thought was, wow! How pretty are those?! And those colors? Gorgeous!
Then I saw a deeper meaning. I did a quick search and found that the iris is used to represent faith, hope, and admiration. In ancient Egypt, the iris represented victory. In Greece, it was seen as a bridge between Heaven and Earth. It's symbolism means "rainbow" due to the variety of colors they bloom in.
And then I thought wow. There is so much more to my iris blooming on Easter morning than I thought!
Today we remember that Jesus has victory over death! He is our bridge between Heaven and Earth. God gave us the rainbow as a covenant that His bow would no longer be aimed as us, but instead wrath was redirected. Redirected through His sacrifice.
All these thoughts... From what many would see as a simple flower.
Keep your eyes open, ya'll. God and his beauty and symbolism is truly everywhere.
Happy Easter! πΈπ
