History and Meaning of the Poinsettia in Christmas Celebrations
The Poinsettia, or poinsettia, has its roots in the Mesoamerican region, where it was valued for its beauty and symbolism. With the arrival of Christianity, it was integrated into Christmas celebrations, representing elements such as the blood of Christ and spiritual renewal. Its popularity spread internationally thanks to Joel Roberts Poinsett. Today, the poinsettia is a global Christmas icon, notable for its chromatic versatility and specific care that ensures its splendor during the festivities.
