The lily is an ancient symbol of new life in many cultures. In Christian iconography it is also the symbol of purity and it always has the feeling of pristine beauty and new life. One of my favorite paintings from early European art is the Merode Altarpiece now in the Cloisters, a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where this flower is used as a symbol. In this painting it is usually considered to be the Lilium Candidum or Madonna Lily. You can see and read about the Merode Altarpiece here:
