Mack is called a "blind blow" because of its "striking" bright red color, and "weak head", because its smell can cause weakness and headache, and "flower of ghosts", because according to one of the beliefs it is believed that These flowers suck blood, if you pass through the poppy field.
Catholics consider poppies flowers of angels and decorate them with churches on the day of the Descent of the Holy Spirit. The Chinese consider poppy a symbol of a safe retreat from business and beautiful recreation. They also consider poppy a symbol of evil and decay, if it is a question of the opium obtained from it.
The poppy did not receive such a wide imaginative incarnation among Christians, but it became a symbol of death and self-sacrifice, embodying the sufferings of Christ.
In antiquity, the poppy became a symbol of repose and tranquility. So, Hypnos, the god of sleep, was portrayed with poppy heads in his hands or with a poppy wreath on his head. Thanatos, the god of death, also had a poppy wreath on his head. The goddess of farming Demeter (Ceres) was depicted with a poppy in her hand. Her statues were decorated with wreaths of poppy flowers and corn ears. The goddess herself was sometimes called the Mecon (from the Greek mecon - poppy). Worshiping Demeter, people paid tribute to nature in the period of its winter rest. Well, Morpheus' possession (his realm of sleep) was entirely poppy-seeded.
