A message from Maria- For Harriet, I chose the iris — it’s a symbol of strength, the word “iris” brings to mind her eye, and Iris in mythology was the messenger to the Gods. For Christopher X, I chose the gladiolus, which is a traditional funeral flower that originates in Africa. For Holly, I chose holly, of course — in Christian symbolism, the spikes of its leaves represent Christ’s crown of thorns, and the red berries represent His precious blood. For Phoenix, I chose the tulip — it’s a symbol of rebirth, just like the Phoenix, and the shape reminds me of how Phoenix was born en caul. And for Ángel, I chose the marigold because it plays a key role in Mexico’s Dia de Los Muertos (in the Aztec origins of the holiday, the fragrance of marigolds was said to lead souls from their burial place to their family homes)
