Related to la Navidad Mexican legend states that a child had no gift to leave at the nativity scene at his church during Christmas time and a ‘flor de nochebuena’ (poinsettia) appeared, out of nowhere! He took the flower to the manger in the church and during the mass it bloomed into the most beautiful gift ever!
