THE LEGEND OF THE FLOWER OF CEMPASÚCHIL🌻💖🐉
This beautiful legend tells the love story of two young Aztecs, Xóchitl and Huitzilin, as well as the legend about the Cempasúchil flower.
The romance of these two young people began when they were still little. As children they had fun playing together and enjoying the surroundings of their town. In time, it was natural that a great love blossomed between them.
They say that every afternoon they went up to the top of the mountain to bring flowers to Tonatiuh, the sun god, he seemed to smile at them from the heights before the offering of lovers, and they swore to love each other forever, even beyond death.
One day the war came and the lovers had to part because the young Huitzilin had to go to fight.
Sadly soon after, news came that Huitzilin had been wounded and eventually killed. The beautiful Xóchitl felt her heart break with pain.
She decided to climb the mountain for the last time to implore Tonatiuh, the sun god, to unite her forever with his love. The shaken sun released one of its rays and when it touched the girl, it turned her into a beautiful flower, with colors as intense as the sun's rays.
In a short time a hummingbird arrived that lovingly settled in the center of the flower.
It was Huitzilin who had transformed into a beautiful hummingbird. Instantly the flower opened into 20 petals, with an intense and mysterious aroma ... Lovers would always be together as long as marigolds and hummingbirds existed. This is how the marigold flower was born, the flower of the dead
