Christian Symbolism in Renaissance Flowers

In Europe during the Renaissance (about A.D. 1400–1600), Christians looked to nature for spiritual enlightenment and to guide their contemplation of the divine. In illuminated manuscripts made during the period, intricately painted landscapes or flora and fauna were often represented as aids to prayer.

Flowers and green spaces are as appealing today as they were 500 years ago, whether in real life or in the pages of a book. And as it turns out, many flowers prized in Renaissance Europe for their religious symbolism and practical value are still among our favorites today. Discover more of these historically religious connections here.
