Scottsbluff Florist How To Send Holiday Flowers
A respectful gesture during religious festivals is to send a gift or a card
. Sending flowers works incredibly well for any religion.There are various flowers associated with particular religions which have become a symbol of their beliefs and practices. For example, the flower of Christianity is generally seen as the Madonna lily whilst the symbol of Hinduism and Buddhism is a Lotus flower, yet different religious holidays and festivals make use of many different kinds of flowers.
In South Africa, the predominant religious holidays and festivals when floral gifts are exchanged include Christmas and Easter for Christianity, Pesach, Rosh Hashanah and Chanukah for Judaism, Deepavali for Hinduism and Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha for Islam.
Easter is the most important holiday on the Christian calendar. Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday following the Paschal full moon, which is the first ecclesiastical full moon in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring over a weekend from a Friday until the Sunday. Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ after he was crucified on the cross. The predominant flower associated with Easter is the Easter lily as well as the daffodil, atamasco, Madonna lily and the Pasque flower.
Christmas is held on the 25th of December and is celebrated for 12 days through Christmastide until the 5th of January.
Flowers and plants related to the Christmas period are poinsettia, Christmas cactus, holly, ivy, the Christmas rose (which flowers during winter in Europe) and mistletoe. These flowers and plants bloom during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere and are generally used for decoration. The flowers are also mentioned in Christmas hymns and carols. The tradition of "kissing under the mistletoe" is still very well known and involves the hanging of a sprig of mistletoe in one's house. If two people stand underneath the hanging sprig at the same time, they are required to kiss.
The poinsettia is a red and green plant which is a popular gift at Christmas and used for decorations. Generally the colors associated with Christmas are red, green, silver and gold and many people choose to send a gift of flowers in these colors which are a perfect decoration to any home celebrating this festival.
Rosh Hashanah, Pesach and Chanukah are three religious holidays featuring in the Jewish calendar. Rosh Hashanah is the celebration of the Jewish New Year and is celebrated in September. Chanukah is the "Festival of Lights" and is a commemoration of the re-dedication of the Jerusalem Holy Temple and is celebrated in December.
Pesach is the holy day celebrating the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt in Biblical times. Pesach is celebrated in April.
All of the Jewish festivals use flowers as decorations. The religion is not specific about which flower should be used, but extremely fine and beautiful flower bouquets are the traditional arrangements given on Jewish holidays. Colors associated with the Jewish religion are blue, white, silver and feature in decor such as floral arrangements with candles.
