About this Global Cover Collection Edition:
The magnolia is a flowering plant native to Asia and the Americas, and it has been cultivated for centuries for its beauty and fragrance. The magnolia tree has a symbolic significance in Christianity. Magnolia flowers have been used in religious ceremonies and represent purity, endurance, and kindness because they maintain their beauty and fragrance even after death. They are also said to symbolize the selfless sacrifice that Jesus Christ made through his crucifixion, with their flowers adorned with stamen resembling thorns.
