According to Mexican legend, the
first poinsettia came from the
prayers of a peasant brother and
sister.
Without money for a gift to give
to the church in honour of Jesus,
they brought a bouquet of weeds to
the altar one year. They placed their
green plants around the church's
manger scene, according to
ChriStmas.com. Miraculously, the
first Flower of the Holy Night
bloomed in a bright red and green
star shape.
According to Christmas.com, the
poinsettia plant was cultivated by
the Aztecs of Mexico long before
the introduction of Christianity to
the Western Hemisphere.
Poinsettias first became
associated with religions in the 17th
century when, because of their
brilliant colour and holiday bloom,
Franciscan priests in Mexico used
.the flower during nativity

Black, Patty Banks and the Sunday
