Dear friends, thank you all for your views, comments and faves!
The symbolism of unity in the lily goes hand in hand with purity. The white variety of the Asiatic lily (lilium) is not called the Madonna lily for nothing; certainly in Christianity this is a reference to the virginity and purity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. You often see the flower in bridal bouquets and in religious expressions.

My neighbor's, and they do attract a lot of butterflies.
However, because of the special interest mosquitoes have on me, I could never think of sitting near them and waiting for that perfect butterfly moment. Just a few minutes out that evening, I was kissed multiple times.
Yes I could always apply repellent but nothing could completely stop their love for me!

Just when i was getting tired of shooting orange larches against a flat blue sky a feather shaped cirrus cloud appeared in the sky above the Langkofel Group adding that little extra detail i needed so bad.
I knew about the meaning white feathers have in symbolism so i took it as a good sign and happily shot a bunch of pictures in panorama mode as the cloud quickly vanished to the east.
Last night, while processing this image, to my great surprise i found out that somebody had entered the field of view unnoticed and was innocently walking under the trees in front of me, he's visible in every frame... I admit this unwanted presence is a minor issue but what about that good sign??

Crann Bethadh means "Tree of Life" in Irish. The Ancient Celts, including those of Ireland, believed that trees had several powers and were the source of all life. The symbol of the Tree of Life has thus remained part of Irish and Celtic symbolism, representing balance and harmony in all worlds, connecting heaven, earth, and the underworld. The branches represent growing knowledge and understanding, and the trunk represents strength and family.

Rabbits have been popular with many Japanese people, and their motif has been used on various items such as table wares, kimono, obi and general merchandise.
Rabbits only drive on forward and don’t step back, so they have been considered lucky as a symbol of advancement.

A perspective on the external carving of the Upper Hutt College Meeting House (Wharenui) Trentham, New Zealand. Te Reo Māori is the native language of New Zealand. It is spoken by the native Māori people and is used to express their culture, heritage and identity. Te Reo Māōri was the only language in New Zealand until the 19th century arrival of Europeans. Prior to this there was no written word therefore Māori communicated through symbolism. The detailing in carvings, knots and weavings were the way Māori recorded stories for future generations.
No explanation needed. At least, I don't think so :-)

It is more inspiring to let the heart echo the music of the ages than to play upon the broken flutes of our own hearts. There is more promise in proceeding from above inward, from the spirit to the soul, than vice versa. Carried away on the wings of praying words, we are at once in a sphere where our thoughts may be released from the pitiful prison of the platitudes of self and be led to a sphere in which we may exchange grief for hope, thought for light.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel, Man’s Quest for God: Studies in Prayer and Symbolism
Una joya, una rosa, una gota de sangre, un faro escarlata. Un símbolo enérgico sobrevolando el azul. Imaginación al viento, momento y suspiro suave. Plenitud.

The raising of the son of the widow of Nain (or Naim) is an account of a miracle by Jesus, recorded in the Gospel of Luke chapter 7. Jesus arrived at the village of Nain during the burial ceremony of the son of a widow, and raised the young man from the dead. (Luke 7:11–17)
The location is the village of Nain, two miles south of Mount Tabor. This is the first of three miracles of Jesus in the canonical gospels in which he raises the dead, the other two being the raising of Jairus' daughter and of Lazarus.
Це сталося після того, як Ісус пішов у місто, зване Наїм, і з Ним йшли Його учні та безліч людей. Коли Він підходив до воріт міста, з міста виносили мертвого, єдиного сина вдови. Бідолашна мати, занурена в горі, йшла за труною, і кілька друзів і родичів супроводжували її.
Коли Божественний Спаситель побачив скорботну матір, Він змилосердився над нею і сказав їй: «Не плач». Потім, наблизившись, Він зробив знак носіям зупинитися і, торкнувшись нош, сказав: «Говорю тобі, юначе, устань!» Зараз же молодик сів і почав говорити. Потім Ісус віддав його матері. І всі, хто бачив це велике диво, були вражені і прославляли Бога, кажучи: «Великий пророк повстав серед нас, і Бог відвідав Свій народ».
Старозавітний пророк Ілля також воскресав мертвих; проте не своєю силою, а молитвами; бо нам розповідають, що він тричі простягався на тілі сина вдови і палко молився Богові, кажучи: «Господи, Боже мій, дозволь душі цієї дитини, благаю Тебе, повернутися в її тіло». І через молитву святого пророка Бог воскресив мертвого хлопчика. Тому Ілля не сам воскресив мертвого, але молився Богові, і у відповідь на його молитву Бог повернув хлопчика до життя. Воскресіння юнака з Наїма було зовсім іншим. Господь наш не благав Бога воскресити його, але наказав мертвому, сказавши: «Юначе, тобі кажу, устань!» і зараз юнак сів і заговорив. Саме Своїм Всемогутнім словом і силою Він воскресив цього юнака і тим самим показав, що Він був не тільки Пророком, а й Всемогутнім Господом життя та смерті, або, іншими словами, що Він був Богом.
INDIEN, Khajuraho (Tempel)
Most Khajuraho temples were built between 950 and 1050 by the Chandela dynasty. Historical records note that the Khajuraho temple site had 85 temples by 12th century, spread over 20 square kilometers. Of these, only about 20 temples have survived, spread over 6 square kilometers. Of the various surviving temples, the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple is decorated with a profusion of sculptures with intricate details, symbolism and expressiveness of ancient Indian art
The Khajuraho temples feature a variety of art work, of which 10% is sexual or erotic art outside and inside the temples. Some of the temples that have two layers of walls have small erotic carvings on the outside of the inner wall. Some scholars suggest these to be tantric sexual practices.] Other scholars state that the erotic arts are part of Hindu tradition of treating kama as an essential and proper part of human life, and its symbolic or explicit display is common in Hindu temples. James McConnachie, in his history of the Kamasutra, describes the sexual-themed Khajuraho sculptures as "the apogee of erotic art":
