Red Poinsettia – Deep Love for Christ
The story behind the link between red poinsettia and Christmas comes from Mexico. Just like the other children, Maria and Pablo were excited about Christmas and would like to give gifts to the baby Jesus portrayed in the nativity set up in the village church as practiced in their place. But they were poor and had nothing to offer except some wild weeds. They were mocked. But to everyone's surprise, bright red, star-shaped flowers blossomed from the weeds and turned out to be the most awesome gifts that Christmas!
