Mary's Tears
This pious tradition comes to us from legends that flowers with tear-drop resemblance sprang up where Mary's tears fell on the ground at the foot of the Cross.
Virginia Spiderwort: blue tear-like fluid from spent blooms
Ladie's Mantle: drops of water remaining on leaves from rain
Lily of the Valley: small tear-like white blooms
Gromwell: A British common wildflower with small tear-like blooms
Quaking Grass: tear-like seed clumps
O Jesus, behold the tears of the one who loved Thee most on earth, and who loves Thee most ardently in heaven! Amen+
