Pepita began to cry because she had no gift to leave before the altar of the Virgin and Child. Through her tears, she saw an Angel, who instructed her to gather a bunch of weeds from the roadside. When the child arrived at the altar with her wilted offering, starry crimson blossoms burst forth from every stem. Pepita was so happy she jumped up and down for joy over the transformation of her simple gift of weeds to beautiful Flores de Noche Buena, (Flowers of the Holy Night), or poinsettia.
