For the people of the Middle Ages, the lily blossom was a symbol of purity and innocence par excellence - the lily symbolised the patronage of the Virgin Mary. Thus, the lily was also called Fleur de Lys - flower of light.
In the Christian context, the tripartite division of the lily blossom symbolized the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
According to legend, the Fleur de Lys was presented to the Merovingian king Clovis I in the early Middle Ages by an angel who descended to earth from heaven, and therefore the lily was considered the coat of arms of the French kings throughout the Middle Ages.
