The poinsettia or Poinsettia flower. Legend of Mexico

A legend tells that a long, long time ago, in a small town in Mexico, all the inhabitants met in the church every year during the birth of Jesus to leave him some gift.

Paul loved that tradition. Every year I saw many people coming from far away with beautiful gifts: fruit baskets, clothes, some toy ... But as the years passed, Pablo became more and more sad. He only saw how everyone went and deposited his gifts but he had nothing to give, he was very poor and that made him feel bad. Qu Pablo wanted to hide to prevent others from looking that he had nothing to give, he went and hid in a corner of the church and began to cry, but soon of his tears that had fallen to the ground, began to sprout a beautiful flower with petals red Paul understood that

that flower was a gift from God para, so that Paul could give it to the baby Jesus. Happy was and I deposit that flower together with the other gifts, but keeping the secret that had been born of her tears. The rest of the people, seeing that beautiful plant, decided to take an identical one every year. That gesture, little by little, became a tradition, and today in every home, a beautiful Easter flower dazzles everyone with its intense red leaves.
