   Why do lilies have a meaning in the Battle Hymn of the Republic?

   • I thought the Battle Hymn of the Republic actually says 'born of the spirit free' and 'born of the waters wide' instead of 'borne of the spirit free' and 'borne of the waters wide'. The idea is that, in His death and resurrection, Christ crossed the sea that separates this life from the next. So the reference would be to Easter, not to Christmas. Lilies are a traditional decoration for Easter celebrations. I assumed the Question was about the meaning of lilies in the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

   Why is the Lilly of the valley so controversial?

   • The Battle Hymn of the Republic contains a reference to the 'Lilly of the Valley'. This is one of numerous attempts to make the Song of Songs less controversial by reading parts of it as though it is describing the Messiah. The Lilly of the Valley is referenced in the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus says that the lilies are more beautiful than Solomon in all his glory.

   Why are lilies a symbol of Easter?

   • The Battle Hymn of the Republic does not actually reference Christmas. Instead, the idea is that, in His death and resurrection, Christ crossed the sea that separates this life from the next. So the reference would be to Easter, not to Christmas. And as far as I know, the sea is not used in any Christian metaphor to symbolize passing between this life and the next. Lilies, on the other hand, are a traditional decoration for Easter celebrations.
