Liturgy of Flowers in a Mary Garden

Liturgy of Flowers in a Mary Garden Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Andrea Oliva Florendo’s book, The Liturgy of Flowers in a Mary Garden, offers a repertoire of Medieval and Renaissance botanical symbolism in a garland of prose, plant portraits, and flower sermons to describe the many flowers associated with the Virgin. The flower imagery of Mary dating back to the Middle Ages brings a wealth of meanings distilled from the Scriptures and the writings of the saints and early Church Fathers. A Mary Garden is the quintessential garden of the Virgin Mary. These gardens, rich in flower symbolism, reveal their charm behind closed doors.

Synopsis:

Deals with Medieval and Renaissance botanical symbolism of flowers associated with the Virgin Mary and the connotation of her virtues, attributes and mysteries.
