Description
This is an abstract image of a poinsettia leaf captured with a lensbaby composer lens and layered with a texture. Printed this is a beautiful image that will display wonderfully on many walls.
The plant's association with Christmas began in 16th-century Mexico, where legend tells of a girl, commonly called Pepita or MarĂa, who was too poor to provide a gift for the celebration of Jesus' birthday and 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 poinsettias. From the 17th century, Franciscan friars in Mexico included the plants in their Christmas celebrations. The star-shaped leaf pattern is said to symbolize the Star of Bethlehem, and the red color represents the blood sacrifice of Jesus's crucifixion.
