FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
This Christmas Help Build the Culture of Life While You Shop
November 24, 2009
This year, your Christmas purchases can bring joy to your loved ones and take the message of life to the world when you buy your floral gifts from www.FaithandFlowers.com.
Here’s how it works. You buy one of our gorgeous, hand-delivered bouquets and a portion of the proceeds is invested in building the Culture of Life. Half of the proceeds donated by Faith and Flowers go to placing impactful ads promoting life produced by Virtue Media. The other half will go to support Saint Vincent DePaul as we work together to bring the light of Christ to our brothers and sisters in need.
Faith and Flowers offers unique Christian products
November 29 is the first Sunday of Advent. This year, help promote the beautiful Christian tradition of Advent in your family by sending your loved ones a fresh evergreen Advent wreath. This is sure to bring them cheer as they prepare their hearts and wait in joyful hope for the coming of our King who came to bring peace to His people and the world.
Spreading the devotion of Mary’s Flowers
Did you know that in medieval Europe almost every flower had a name that reflected a virtue of faith? With the introduction of printing and botanical flower names, the flowers of the field were stripped of their names related to the faith. Most especially affected were the flowers that were named after Mary, the Mother of Our Lord.
Faith and Flowers is dedicated to selling beautiful hand-delivered bouquets, investing in the culture of life and spreading devotion to the flowers of Our Blessed Mother and their significance to our Christian faith. Melody Escobar and Rebecca Even joined their skills and more than three decades of communications and marketing experience to establish Faith and Flowers in November 2009.
At the heart of the Faith and Flowers logo is the Passion flower. For centuries, this magnificent flower has enriched the faith and devotion of believers throughout the world by its representation of Our Lord’s Passion through its symbols of the scourging, crowning with thorns and crucifixion.
Rebecca Even said, "The history of flowers is very rich, and through Faith and Flowers, we are striving to build a culture of life by sharing this knowledge. It is our prayer that we will help others reconnect to the power of beauty and life in the service of Our Lord and Our Lady."
Melody Escobar commented, "We are thrilled to offer people a choice to promote life through their Christmas shopping – what better way to prepare for the coming of our King than with a gift of a fresh advent wreath or Christmas bouquet!"
