A bloom recalled as ‘poinsettia’ takes a great importance for the people of Turkey. If you are wondering where the name of the poinsettia comes from, you are at the right place!
There are 2 different information on this subject. The first one was named Atatürk Flower because it was the favorite flower of the Great Leader Atatürk.
The Christmas log is a trunk or branch which has a pair of eyes and a painted mouth. We put it under the tree covered with a blanket so it doesn't sound cold. They put a plate with food every night and on December 24 we sing for him to give us gifts and chocolate.
This festivity has been done for a long time and it was for those who did not do Christmas, that is Santa Claus. This served so that the children did not have to wait until the wise men, children are very impatient and this tradition was made to entertain themselves. The Christmas log is put when they have already set up the tree or for some they put it when they want but it will always be in the month of December.
In Christmas tradition celebrates the “ Christmas log” because the children of the house beat him with sticks while they sing, so that he shits gifts and sweets under the blanket on December 24th.
The Christmas log is a tradition of rural and pre-Christian origin rooted in Catalonia and Aragon, which originally represents the log that was burned in the home to provide heat and light in the winter months. In earlier times it was conceived as a tribute to the ancestors; When Christmas Day, December 25, the trunk was burned and the ashes were scattered on the field.
Over time, it has evolved into a children's party with gifts on Christmas Day. According to the contemporary version, from the day of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, a log is eaten, left with food and covered with a blanket so that it does not get cold.

The second is that Doctor Kirk Land, a professor who is curious about plant and flower production, named the flower " Atatürk Flower " as a gift to Atatürk, whom he admired for his botanical and natural knowledge, while searching for a name for this uniquely beautiful flower, which he revealed as a result of various trials .
This special flower has a special meaning for us as it is named after the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, in addition to its velvety leaves and its uniquely beautiful red color.
