Lily of the Valley Biblical Art Print by Susan Loy Literary Calligraphy

Artist Susan Loy uses the lily of the valley to symbolize the return of happiness paired with Psalm 118: 24: “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” This verse from Psalms expresses each day's promise of a return of happiness and a reason to rejoice. Psalms are songs and are among the most poetic verses in the Bible. The lily of the valley means return of happiness in the Victorian language of flowers. In North American and British flower of the month traditions, it is the flower of May and has been called May lily. The flower’s botanical name is Convallaria majalis, from convallis, valley, and majalis, May. Native to Europe, Asia, and parts of North America, it is prized for its fragrance as well as its beauty. Signed print produced from Susan Loy’s original watercolor includes bio and information sheet inserted with acid-free mat board into a clear plastic envelope.
