Upon the Blessed Virgin's assent to be the Mother of the Divine Word Incarnate, and through Christ's expiating sacrifice on the Cross, herbs and flowers, along with the rest of the world and nature, were freed of their associations with the false pagan deities imposed upon them by previous generations. Thus liberated, herbs and flowers, in their created purity, beauty and varied forms from the hand of God, were then given true Christian association. |
