A fleur de lis ("flower of the lily") is a stylized lily whose origins are most likely from Egypt. In Christian meanings, the fleur de lis represents the Trinity because of the three-fold separation. Similar to an Annunciation lily, the sign also can represent the Virgin Mary, although by the late middle ages the rose was also associated with Mary. Another association is from Song of Solomen 2:1: "I am the Rose of Sharon, I am the lily of the valleys."
