Pervive tradition of the flowers in the month of May

Butterfly - National Flower - Cuba La presence of the flowers for the Day of the Mothers one of those traditions that varied with the years in Santa Clara, but pervive according to the features of each generation becomes.

Marta Anido, investigator of the popular culture in the city, related to the AIN that several decades behind on second Saturday of May the Dance of the flowers was made, where some youths danced sones, danzones and waltzes, effective habit in some municipalities of Villa Clara.

A great verbena for the coming of so important day, added, it began in the night schedule, for when the windows of the city were already decorated with the most diverse initiatives, the mannequins were placed so that they represented the united family and they didn't lack the flowers.

I nest it remembers, also that to the park Leoncio Vidal many salespersons of carnations converged, and people bought, so much white as red, to denote if the mothers had died or they were alive.

The handiworks were very common for this date, added, the children carried out postcards and baskets with tapes, and in the morning went next to the mom to give him the surprises and got dressed with cloths similar to those that used.

The rescue of some of these traditions is fundamental, underlined, because with it the city safeguards values as the simplicity, the sincerity and the humility that sometimes get lost with the intentions of giving an expensive gift.

Roses, gladioluses, sunflowers, daisies, don't lack for the delivery of a gift in the commemoration, detail that causes that May becomes the month of the flowers doubly, for questions of the nature and for the Day of the Mothers. (María Victoria González Clavero / AIN)
