An altar boy holding a bunch of lilies anchors this Easter greeting card, and the lilies are the key to its meaning. The white Easter lily, with its trumpet-shaped bloom, became the flower most associated with the Resurrection in Western Christian art and was widely sold for the holiday in the early 20th century. Cards like this were often mass-produced and sent between family and friends, so they reflect both devotion and the commercial growth of holiday greetings. Look at the boy's robe and the soft, pastel palette, which were typical of the period's religious illustrations.
