Myth and Legend about Snowdrop


There are a lot of legends about Snowdrops. One of them says that when God has expelled Adam and Eve from Paradise, on the earth there was a winter and there was a snow. Eve has frozen and began to cry. She with grief recollected warm paradise gardens. To console her the God has transformed some snowflakes into the flowers of snowdrop. So snowdrops probably were the first flowers on the Earth. It isn't known, when for the first time have started to grow up snowdrops. Most likely, they became one of the first garden plants that it is no wonder: the first flowers after sad cold winter inevitably draw attention, even if they small and soft.
