Beautiful and Sublime Sunday in MyCalifornia

[silversaver888]

Some people don't think about the flower displays when they attend church, whether it's for Sundays, or the weekly service, or a special occasion.

In our church, most of the work is done by volunteers!

Particularly in the Catholic religion, flowers are considered essential. An arrangement of flowers is a symbol of joy and how God creates beauty in nature. The flowers on the altar signifies grace, virtue and heavenly warmth .

The only time flowers are not set in Church is during Lent, the six-week period prior to Easter. You will not find a single flower on the altar during Lent. This is a somber period, a time to reflect on sacrifice and moderation in all things.

After Lent, the church can once again be adorned with beautiful flowers.

.

I make it a point to take some time to admire the floral displays in Church. I always try to remember what their significance is and what they symbolize.

The diligence of the floral arrangers is to be much admired. Primarily because they are usually not paid for their services to our Church.

Flowers In God's Garden by John Osborne
We all are flowers in God's Garden Each bearing a differing bloom, We are only here for a season And autumn oft cometh too soon.
Each of us has the potential To be the loveliest of flowers, To add charm and grace to the Garden The choice quite simply is ours.
We may bring some joy to a life that is sad Just through a word that is spoken We may bring some peace to a troubled mind Or hope to a heart that is broken.
For every flower has something to give Or it maybe just something to share, it may not be much, but may mean a great deal To someone, sometime, somewhere.
Yes, we all have gifts to use as we will And we never should miss any chance, To freely give of the gifts we possess And with love, God's Garden enhance.
For much may stem from the life that we live Which now we're not able to see, But the good seeds we sow, are the flowers that will grow And bloom in Eternity.

I agree with you about the flowers. I admire them every single time I step into the church. There is much joy that moves people to volunteer in this way, donating their time (which is priceless) and the flowers they work with.

I admire the beauty they leave behind, for all to enjoy. The joy it inspired is sure to be given back threefold. Lovely post for such a beautiful morning.

How beautiful those flowers are and I so love the pink ones. Life at present let me bring flowers in the Church and at the cemetery for my sister. All of those are really fascinating. Have a nice time my friend and take care.

[silversaver888]

I too have deceased love ones. Live flowers are brought to them once a week and perpetually, I never told anyone, but as I go to our church and marvel at the flowers, prayers go out to my family.
Thank you for your comment, @pinkchic, and struck a chord with me~

Have a Happy Sunday my friend!

[sofs-su]

That's so true, the people who arrange the flowers are not paid for their services. In our church it's mostly the nuns and they do a wonderful job of it.

[silversaver888]

Our Church relies on the lay people to do it. They are not professionals, but do a good job. Sometimes, they just put the flowers in a vase (last photo), and it is fine.

As you well said, the flowers in Church represent the beauty, joy & peace of God in our hearts. This came to my mind some days ago about admiring these pieces of beauty in Church.

For much may stem from the life that we live
Which now we're not able to see,
But the good seeds we sow, are the flowers that will grow
And bloom in Eternity.

Thus part of the poem is very instructive and encouraging. As we keep sowing the right seeds in our lives and that of others, they will surely bloom. Thank you for sharing.

[silversaver888]

Awww... you're so right in saying that, @sapphirekay !
Keep sowing good seeds!
