For centuries, the fleur-de-lys (lily flower) has been the royal emblem of the French monarchy. It is, in fact, a religious symbol. As such, it reinforced the reigns of French kings as divine. The three petals of the fleur-de-lys represent the Trinity. The fleur-de-lys is also a symbol of the Virgin Mary.
You'll see fleur-de-lys symbols in French castles, on Quebec's flag, around New Orleans, and in fashion and home decor. How 'bout seeing them dangling from your ears? I just stumbled upon a giveaway for a beautiful pair of fleur-de-lys earrings from Beads by Evelyn.
