POINSETTIA GLORY & The Star of Bethlehem

POINSETTIA GLORY
Watercolor - 8x10

The Christmas season is upon us and I always love seeing all of the beautiful red poinsettias. I didn't know until recently that the shape of the poinsettia flower and leaves are sometimes thought as a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem which led the Wise Men to Jesus. The red colored leaves symbolize the blood of Christa and the white leaves represent His purity.
