The Pointsettia:
A Mexican Legend
pointsettia
 
Legend has it that a poor child in Mexico having nothing to give the Christ-Child on His birthday, gathered some weeds into a lovely bouquet; the only gift he had to offer.
 
When he brought his gift to the manger, this simple weed was transformed

a pointsettia.
Now known as the beautiful
"Flower of the Holy Night"
