As I had never heard of that celebration, I asked my own mother if she was familiar with it. This is what she told me:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>When I was a girl, on May third, every year, a cross was hung on a visible place of the house. In the old times, the cross was made with the aromatic leaves of a wild plant called &#8220;Laurel de Cera&#8221; (Morella Parvifolia). This plant is native of the high Andes, from Venezuela to Peru \u2013Nowadays, to protect the mountains ecosystem, collecting this plant is illegal in Colombia. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The cross could be as small as the length of a human hand or as big as a human arm. It was decorated with red carnations, which lasted a few days and then removed after they wilted. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A small fabric bag with seven grains and three coins was attached to the back. It could be hung in the kitchen or behind the entrance door. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>On May third, people would recite the name of Jesus for thousand times to bring protection and prosperity to the family. The leaves of the prior year&#8217;s cross were cleaned and boiled in water to be used in a bath.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The origins of this festival are linked to pagan traditions and spring rituals. As it occurs at the beginning of May, it is related to the Maypole, a tall wooden pole erected as a part of various European folk festivals, around which a dance takes place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips and suggestions for making the origami cross<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thin, crisp paper is ideal to use for this origami cross. In the video the cross is demonstrated using thin kami paper, known in the U.S. as \u201corigami paper\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Other papers \u2013gift-wrapping or office are also suitable.<\/li>\n<li>Use a piece of paper at least 6\u00d76 inches (15x15cm.) when first learning the model.<\/li>\n<li>Only one side of the paper shows in the front. It is not necessary to have paper of different color on each side.<\/li>\n<li>Practice making the cross a few times with flat-colored paper.<\/li>\n<li>This origami cross can be a beautiful ornament on a wedding or as a first-communion gift.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-cross-gift.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12891 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-cross-gift.jpg\" alt=\"origami-cross-gift\" width=\"344\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-cross-gift.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-cross-gift-225x158.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-cross-gift-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>For a striking effect, make the cross with paper that has a circular or mandala-like pattern.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Mandala-design-OrigamiSpirit.pdf\"><strong>FREE PRINTABLE:<\/strong> click here to download a circular pattern (PDF)<\/a>, print it on color paper, cut a square and use it to make this origami cross.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/mandala-image-yellow-400.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12905\" src=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/mandala-image-yellow-400.jpg\" alt=\"mandala-image-yellow-400\" width=\"329\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/mandala-image-yellow-400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/mandala-image-yellow-400-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/mandala-image-yellow-400-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/mandala-image-yellow-400-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/mandala-image-yellow-400-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diagrams for these crosses are sold at <a href=\"http:\/\/servimatices.com\/pages-english\/origami\/\">OrigamiUSA online shop<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">These are the two versions of <a href=\"http:\/\/servimatices.com\/pages-english\/origami\/\">Matthew Green<\/a>&#8216; crosses published in Origami Spirit.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"\/es\/?p=27287\"><strong>Click here to make the origami cross shown on the left<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-crosses-600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12894 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-crosses-600.jpg\" alt=\"origami-crosses-600\" width=\"567\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-crosses-600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-crosses-600-225x128.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/origami-crosses-600-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">. . . . . . . . . . .<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Have you seen our selection of printable origami papers?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> <a href=\"\/es\/?page_id=26733\">Click here to buy and download yours instantly <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/es\/?page_id=26733\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11677\" src=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/printable-paper-origami-posts.jpg\" alt=\"printable-paper-origami-posts\" width=\"560\" height=\"117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/printable-paper-origami-posts.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/printable-paper-origami-posts-225x47.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.origamispirit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/printable-paper-origami-posts-300x63.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>This origami cross is a lovely variation of the cross presented in the previous post.
