THEIR ROLE IN FLOWER AND WORLD RELIGIONS

Their role in flower and world religions

For centuries, the flowers have boasted over their beauty, sweet scent, flavors, and medicinal properties in different cultures worldwide. Once in Europe, people went to believe that flowers are magical in nature. Over time, some flowers have been assigned various meanings or emissions.

Today we are using these meanings in mind, giving great importance to important festivals, including religious traditions. Far from real world use, flowers can often add more symbolic and decorative features to a picture in religious arts.

Islam

Compared to other important religions, flowers are generally not excessive in Islamic traditions. Roses are sometimes used in marriages or funeral interactions with various palm leaves. Roses are widely used for their heavy smell in Arab and Muslim culture for a long time. To this end, the Rose Water Festival is finally sprayed in new graves.

Full white roses are sometimes used to refer to virtue. Jasmine is sometimes used in funeral. In Islamic religious art, Islamic artifacts usually decorate various floral images and egg floral forms. The Islamic gardens designed specifically for meditation include citrus trees for their sweet-scented orange flowers.

Christianity

In Christian culture, the flowers are once linked to decay and paganism. Then the ideas of the flowers have become stronger. Fashion flowers are primarily used to reflect the suffering and sacrifice of Christ, and each section of the flower represents a different aspect of Christ's speech.

White flowers like white roses and lily stand for cleanliness. They are sometimes associated with his own purity references to Virgin Mary. In Christianity, red roses stand as love or symbol of the blood of Christ. Church altars are often decorated with flower bouquets or earthenware, especially on Easter and Christmas days. Flowers play a big role in the final rituals, baptism and other personal events of the Christian.

Hindu religion

Flowers are considered the most important for many reasons. The main Hindu pantheon is called pooja, meaning "flower action". One of the most important flowers in the Hindus is Lotus for its various associations. At a very basic level, it is connected to fertility, youth and beauty.

At the highest level, it is associated with divinity and devotion. The Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu religious sacred, advises to model themselves for the lotus.

Buddhists

Likewise Hinduism is Buddhist. In this religion, Lotus refers to the highest level of man's reach based on spiritual growth. Buddhists consider themselves a metaphor for Lotus knowledge rather than the divinity and virtue. Many Buddhist artifacts use lotus flowers to reflect Buddhism.
