Love the connection between snowdrops and Candlemas. The image of these tiny flowers as both bells announcing the Savior and lanterns in winter darkness really layers the symbolism. I grew up with flower fairy books too and never made that connection until now. The idea that light wins even when things look bleakest feels especially needed right now in alot of places.
Yes you are right, we need to hold on to the encouragement and hope represented by the light. The Bible is rich with symbolism and we should pay more attention to it.
Lovely. As an immigrant I’m still learning our island’s taxonomy. Thanks for the revelation about Candlemas bells. And the bonus poetry!
