Lilium Candidum, the Madonna lily or white lily, is a plant in the true lily family. It has been cultivated since antiquity, for at least 3,000 years, and has great symbolic value since then for many cultures. Some translations of the Bible identify the Hebrew word Shoshannah as "lily" in the Song of Songs. The white lily symbolizes chastity in the iconography of the Catholic Church and some of the Orthodox churches.

Cats are extremely sensitive to the toxicity of the plant and ingestion is often fatal.
