Cruising Places, Hyderabad

Binabik

was thinking about New Year's congratulations with a dibujete, as my laziness prevented me from doing so by Christmas.

only thing that came to mind was the mistletoe. Drawing

started thinking about the origin of the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe at Christmas that appears in all American Christmas film lovers.

From what I've been able to investigate, the fact that its leaves remain evergreen, and do not grow in the ground, but on other trees, is probably the origin of belief in their magical properties.

kiss on him, the thing is already confused, I have found at least three different versions of the Norse myth, but all have one thing in common:

The god Balder, god of spring, is the god of light, of goodness, purity and beauty, he predicted an early death through a dream.
His mother or his father, the god Odin, they promise to every living creature that will not harm the son, but make him promise you forget the mistletoe.

Loki, a god with a desire for revenge, finds, and makes an arrow with a branch of this plant, and Balder fell dead.

Here it gets confusing, but apparently, with his nature starts to die too.

the end Odin asks the Queen of Hell, Hel, to fix the mess, and she agrees to return to life if the whole world weeps for him, everyone does it (although Loki returns to get a word), but especially his mother or his wife (depending on the legend you read). Balder

raises (like spring after winter) and to honor the woman he wept for him, ordered that henceforth, each time a couple pass under a sprig of mistletoe must kiss to perpetuate the love on earth.

: P I hope at least I have not bored the rant, just one more thing:




Hehehe, you are in time to put under the screen and find candidat @.
