Significance Of Various Types Of Christmas Flowers
The holiday season is here! You must
have waited for all the year long to scent your home with Christmas floral decoration. But these flowers do not always get the credit that they
deserve. These flowers have meanings as beautiful as their appearances. Keep
reading to know the story behind the three Christmas Flowers.
1.Poinsettias
Poinsettias are among the most
common flowers that people use to decorate with around the holiday season. It
is considered as the best Christmas plant to give and receive as a gift. It is
recommended to keep these plants inside as they are sensitive to cold. It is
said that once, two young children did not have the money to bring a gift to
the Church on Christmas eve, so they picked some weeds. When the other children
made fun of them, those weeds turned into red blossoms and beautiful bracts of
the Poinsettias.
2.Christmas Rose
Christmas rose isn’t actually a
rose, but more related to the buttercup! They are the white wildflowers that
bloom on the European mountains during the winters, however, few people grow them
themselves. It is said that a shepherdess named Madelon used to watch the Wise
Men and shepherds on their way to meet baby Jesus, with a lot of presents. But
she did not have anything to offer him. An angel, then, appears and consoles
Madelon and brushes the snow away at her feet to reveal a cluster of Christmas
roses so the shepherdess would have a gift for Jesus.
3.Holly
Holly is known as the Christmas
plant as fact female holly bushes grow bright red berries around the holiday
season. These red berries pop and exemplify into the two most popular colors of
the season. The ancient Druids considered the plant of being the representative
of everlasting life. The Christians also adopted that same meaning but added
that it’s a symbol of Jesus’s promise of everlasting life.
