“Tear of the Virgin Mary”: Name & Symbolism

A wonderful Mount Athos handiwork, one of the most characteristic products, created by the monks with the fruits of the plant “tear of the Virgin Mary”. Tradition says that this plant grew under the cross of Christ from the tears of the Virgin Mary, which fell on the earth while she mourned for the martyrdom and loss of Her only son. However, there is a second version. According to her, a monk sat in sorrow because he could not learn to knit a rosary. Then the Virgin Mary appeared to him and asked him why he was sad. He replied, “I can’t learn to knit a rosary.” So the Virgin Mary gave him the seeds of this plant and said to him: “Take my tears, cultivate them and make prayer rosaries. And he said, Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on Me; Blessed Virgin Mary save us.”
