Marigold | Flower Art Prints
There is a legend that Mother Mary used marigolds as money and so the Early Christians had a tradition of placing flowers on Mary’s altar as an offering instead of coins. And this is also how marigolds got their name which derived from marygolde.
In India, marigold flowers hold a special place in Hindu culture. They are often used during holy festivals as well as in weddings and religious ceremonies. Marigolds symbolize purity, auspiciousness, and the divine. Their strong fragrance is believed to ward off negativity and evil spirits.
In Mexico, marigolds are known as 'flor de muertos' (flower of the dead) and play a central role in the annual Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations. The bright orange and yellow hues of marigold flowers are thought to attract and guide the spirits of the deceased back to the world of the living.
In the Victorian Era, the marigold was synonymous with grief, despair and mourning. To the Victorians, the marigold was a remembrance flower.
