The hyacinth was named after a young man of Greek myth named
Hyacinthus, who was loved but accidentally killed by the god
Apollo. The grieving Apollo caused the beautiful flower to grow
from the blood of the slain youth.
In the
days of the Roman Empire, the hyacinth was transformed into
a Christian symbol of hope - the hope that had been born of
the blood of Christ
