Personally, I think this kind of tales are so beautiful. Do you know another myth or old story behind a flower, weather, food, etc? In Mexico, there is a tragic Aztec legend explaining the origin of two famous volcanoes named Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl. It tells of an Aztec princess who died of a broken heart after a rival falsely claimed her warrior love had died in battle. Upon his return, the heartbroken warrior carried her to the summit, kissed her, and knelt with a smoking torch to watch o er her eternal sleep. Iztaccihuatl: Often called La Mujer Dormida (The Sleeping Women), its peaks resemble a woman lying on her back covered in a white blanket of snow. Popocatepetl: An active volcano that often spews smoke and ash. According to the myth, his heart preserves the fire of eternal passion, and smoke represents his warrior sighs as he keeps eternal watch over his princess. Pictures -> Btw, I used to live a couple of hours from there. And I used to take a moment every morning to contemplate that view.before going to work.
