Aegidius van Schoor's "Wonderbaarlijke leliewortel met de vorm van een kruisbeeld" is a 17th-century print depicting the cross of Christ and a lily. The print is framed by text that details a miraculous discovery of a lily growing from the base of the cross. The image depicts the cross, with Christ on it, at the top of the page, and the lily is shown in bloom at the bottom. The inscription is likely meant to serve as a metaphor for the Resurrection of Christ. The lily, a symbol of purity, signifies the promise of eternal life, a popular visual motif in religious art.
