The tale goes that the child was inspired by an angel to gather weeds from the roadside and place them in front of the church altar. Crimson "blossoms" sprouted from the weeds and became beautiful poinsettias. From the 17th century, Franciscan friars in Mexico included the plants in their Christmas celebrations.<br /><br /><div class="zemanta-related"><h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em; margin: 1em 0px 0px;">Related articles</h6><ul class="zemanta-article-ul"><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://socyberty.com/holidays/poinsettia-the-story-of-the-christmas-flower/">Poinsettia: The Story of The Christmas Flower</a> (socyberty.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.basilandspice.com/journal/122010-beware-of-the-giant-christmas-poinsettia.html">(12/2010) Beware of the Giant Christmas Poinsettia!</a> (basilandspice.com)</li><li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://homedesign.marthastewart.com/2010/12/decorating-with-poinsettias.html">Decorating with Poinsettias</a> (homedesign.marthastewart.com)</li></ul></div><div class="zemanta-pixie" style="height: 15px; margin-top: 10px;"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://www.zemanta.com/" title="Enhanced by Zemanta"><img alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?x-id=e260875d-1247-496c-835f-222af785dfa4" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; float: right;" /></a></div>
