Butterfly Release Ceremony
12:00pm-1:00pm Butterfly Garden across from The Lily Café $15.00 advance payment required
The Lily Dale Environmental Committee is hosting a Butterfly Release Ceremony
following the opening day flag-raising. The life cycle of a butterfly serves as an
analogy to our own existence. Butterflies are nurtured from cocoons to caterpillars,
and finally, into butterflies to soar freely and widely in the sky. We will remember
the souls of loved ones who came into this life in human form and were
released during the change called death, to a greater life. They are still with us,
to share our love, thoughts, and our prayers. Please join us for this sacred event!
A pre-payment of $15.00 is required to ensure a butterfly is available for release.
Please visit www.lilydaleassembly.org to purchase your butterfly
Some butterflies may be available for sale on opening day.
If you wish to join us and release a butterfly, a $15.00 advance payment reserves a
butterfly for you. Though butterflies may be available for purchase on the day of the
event, there is no guarantee, and you are strongly encouraged to reserve your butterfly
in advance.
Pre-registration opens at 12 noon on Friday, June 20. Our butterflies will be
awakened and released promptly at 12:30 pm. If you are not present for the12:30
release, a committee member will release the butterfly on your behalf.
