Lilies of the Field

Jesus used an illustration of little flowers like those shown in our photo below to teach Hs disciples that God cares for them. See Luke 11:27. Older English translations used the term lilies. Some scholars identify the Anemone as the flower Jesus had in mind. When one sees fields full of these in the spring it is hard to disagree.
