The Legend of the Poinsettia

Did you know the bright and beautiful poinsettia has a much-loved Mexican Christmas legend behind it?

In a small Mexican village, a young girl longed to bring a gift to the Christmas Eve service but had nothing to offer. Wanting to give from the heart, she gathered a small bundle of simple green weeds from the roadside. Though embarrassed, she placed them beside the nativity with love and hope.

As she did, a miracle unfolded — the humble leaves began to glow a brilliant red, transforming into the stunning poinsettia blooms we treasure today. The villagers believed it was a sign that the most meaningful gifts are the ones given with pure love.

Today, the poinsettia remains a cherished symbol of Christmas Blessings, Goodwill, and heartfelt giving.

Whether decorating your home or shared as a thoughtful gift, the poinsettia reminds us that even the simplest gesture can become something truly magical.
