Desde la \u00e9poca prehisp\u00e1nica, la flor mexicana de Cempas\u00fachil con su aroma caracter\u00edstico envuelve los hogares y los panteones de M\u00e9xico y con sus p\u00e9talos marca el camino de regreso de las \u00e1nimas de los difuntos a los que fueron sus hogares, para convivir durante el 01 y 02 de noviembre con sus seres queridos y para nutrirse de la esencia de los alimentos que se les ofrece en los altares creados en su honor. Pero, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 esta flor es
caracter\u00edstica de esta festividad?, su origen es el siguiente:
Cuenta la leyenda que existieron dos ni\u00f1os Xochitl y Huitzilin que con el paso del tiempo se enamoraron perdidamente. Era tanto su amor que un d\u00eda subieron a lo alto de una gran monta\u00f1a donde sab\u00edan que habitaba
Tonatiuh, el dios del sol, pidi\u00e9ndole que bendijera su amor, incluso, sobrepasando las barreras de la vida, Tonatiuh, al verlos tan enamorados les otorg\u00f3 su bendici\u00f3n.
Una guerra lleg\u00f3 de manera inesperada y Huitzilin fue llamado para defender a su pueblo, al paso del tiempo Xochitl recibi\u00f3 una terrible noticia, Huitzilin hab\u00eda muerto. Su dolor fue tan inmenso que subi\u00f3 a la monta\u00f1a para rogar a Tonatiuh que la reuniera con su amado, y \u00e9ste conmovido por el sufrimiento de la joven, lanz\u00f3 un rayo que al tocarla la convirti\u00f3 en un capullo amarillo, del mismo color que \u00e9l. En esa flor, se pos\u00f3 un colibr\u00ed en el
centro, la peque\u00f1a ave era Huitzilin y apenas \u00e9l lleg\u00f3, la flor se abri\u00f3 en veinte p\u00e9talos liberando su hermoso aroma. El encanto de Tonatiuh mantuvo la uni\u00f3n de X\u00f3chitl y Huitzilin para toda la vida mientras sigan existiendo los colibr\u00edes y las flores de cempas\u00fachil.
Desde entonces naci\u00f3 la tradici\u00f3n de decorar las tumbas y ofrendas con esta flor ya que se cree que su hermoso aroma y p\u00e9talos amarillos gu\u00edan a los muertos durante su visita al mundo de los vivos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
