legends

There are many legends about the origin of lily of the valley. An old Russian legend connects the appearance of the lily of the valley with the sea princess Magus. The tears of the princess, saddened by the fact that the young man Sadko gave his heart to the earthly girl Lyubava, fell to the ground, sprouted into a beautiful and delicate flower - a symbol of purity, love and sadness.

There is a belief that on bright moonlit nights, when the whole earth is covered in deep sleep, the Blessed Virgin, surrounded by a crown of silver lilies of the valley, sometimes appears to those happy mortals for whom unexpected joy is preparing. When the lily of the valley fades, a small round berry grows - flammable, fiery tears, with which the lily of the valley mourns the spring, the round-the-world traveler, scattering her caresses to everyone and not stopping anywhere. The lily of the valley in love also silently endured his grief, as he carried the joy of love. In connection with this pagan tradition, a Christian legend may have arisen about the origin of the lily of the valley from the burning tears of the Most Holy Theotokos at the cross of her crucified son.

The ancient Romans believed that the lily-of-the-valley was the droplets of the fragrant sweat of the goddess of hunting Diana, who fell on the grass when she ran away from the Faun in love with her. In England, they said that lilies of the valley grow in the forest in those places where the fabulous hero Leonard defeated the terrible dragon. Other legends say that lilies of the valley grew from the beads of Snow White's crumbling necklace. They serve as flashlights for the gnomes. They live in small forest men - elves. Sunbeams hide in lilies of the valley at night.

The Celts believed that this was nothing more, nothing less than the treasures of the elves. According to their legend, young hunters, having ambushed wild animals in the forest, saw an elf flying with a heavy burden in his hands, and tracked down his path. It turned out that he was carrying a pearl to a mountain of pearls that towered under an old sprawling tree. Unable to resist the temptation, one of the hunters decided to take a tiny mother-of-pearl ball for himself, but when touched, the mountain of treasures crumbled. People rushed to collect pearls, forgetting about precautions, and to the noise of their fuss, the elven king flew in, turning all the pearls into fragrant white flowers. And since then, elves have been taking revenge on greedy people for the loss of their treasure, and lilies of the valley love so much that every time they rub them with napkins woven from moonlight...
