Apparently an exquisite sight! I only joined him at the tail end of his sabbatical to tour the country and then visit Europe and England. I didn't get the honor to see the spring flowers bloom. I checked this one link and it mentioned the fairly rare Madonna Lily. There must be more info on Google! Interesting post!<br /><br />http://www.flowers-israel.net/SitePage.aspx?PageID=390Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953073381987950597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-68231825130434659092010-08-30T14:45:14.892+01:002010-08-30T14:45:14.892+01:00Me again!
Just rethought that hymn line.
"In ...Me again!<br />Just rethought that hymn line.<br />"In the beauty of the lilies" White lilies are a symbol of rebirth (and therefore Easter) in N. America. So,I think the line refers to Christ's resurrection as in "Christ was born across the sea" (literally overseas from the U.S.).<br />Gosh, hope that makes sense!<br />JaneJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-76934597598045120552010-08-30T14:31:49.022+01:002010-08-30T14:31:49.022+01:00Swaddled in white?

I wonder if the line in the Battle Hymn means he was born across the sea from America. Never thought about it before but it's intriguing. Hope someone comes up with the right answer.
