A magical flower that can save and can also bring an end.🌸
This little flower, the first harbinger of spring... It usually blooms at the end of January and in February... The warm weather has accelerated the flowering a little and the Helleborus odorus has bloomed now. This is a pink and white cornflower, planted in the yard to brighten the arrival of spring...
Flower Lenten Rose, (Shade Garden),
Helleborus is a poisonous but also a medicinal plant...
It got its name from the Greek word hellein / to kill
And the words pine / fir.....belongs to the Ranunculaceae family.
We have a lot of it in the meadows and forests...
According to Christian belief, this flower originated 2000 years ago.
When Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, wise men came with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. One girl also wanted to give something to Christ, but she didn't have anything and she was crying. Then an Angel appeared, touched the ground with his wings, and then the Christmas Rose (Kukurek) sprouted.
According to this legend, the newly born Christ also received this flower as a gift...
Mythology made this plant famous... Hercules cured his madness with this plant. Alexander the Great died, because he used it too much...
"In our people, this plant heals and is used for magic. When the first flower of the year appears, a song is sung to it: "The cuckoo is calling from the hill, marry me! The beautiful rose holds out its hand: take me!""
"Down here, they soak the roots of this plant in water and sprinkle it on children for church holidays. It is especially used for Tsveti and St. George's Day, to protect against evil eyes and black magic. If it is brought into the house before St. George's Day, it will bring misfortune to the household.""
