Photo: Easter

I bought this Easter lily early in Holy Week, and hoped it would not bloom until Easter. It did better than that. As if on cue, one flower opened on Holy Thursday, the beginning of the Easter Triduum. The next flower opened on Good Friday, and a third opened late on Holy Saturday, in time for the Vigil. It looks like a fourth bloom will be open early Easter Sunday to complete the celebration of the Lord's Passion and Resurrection. I believe this plant celebrated the Triduum better than I did!

What a great photo! How close were you? Was this handheld or on a tripod or something?

Hi Dan. Yes, it was handheld. My digicam has a macro mode, and I was right in the flower.
