Easter Bouquet by David Burliuk

In this still life we see upon a sideboard a pot planted with large lilies, as well as smaller flowers growing around them. There is a book open, which looks to be a highly stylized Bible, propped up in its own rectangular vessel. Given the painting's title which one is the Easter Bouquet--the one including lilies (a traditional symbol of resurrection) or the Bible itself? Both are illuminated against a dark background that seems to encompass more than just shadows.
