So I’m writing a book on the use of flowers in religious rituals. I came across interesting information, one point of which was that the Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony often does rituals and such in threes to honour the Holy Trinity. So I have in my book the recommendation that flowers be presented in groupings of three or be of three-petalled types, such as Ontario’s trillium.
And then I thought, oh, crap – there’s a law about that!
Thank goodness for Snopes: there isn’t. I can actually go out right now (well, not right now, since there’s about eight feet of snow on the ground but you know what I mean) and transplant some trilliums onto my own property!
Adding to the list….
