Long ago in the ancient lands the land was covered by the blankets of the frozen ones. the people were scared and there was famine. they prayed and they prayed to the moon for their forgiveness but it did not come. finally after many sunless days one sunny day did come. a butterfly landed on a small flower that grew from the sun outside the village of Khiloa and they called the butterfly for its beauty and grace after the small flower..... the butterfly came and when it was on the flower, they called it Alyssium, the butterfly day.
Alyssium is celebrated on the fifteenth of may in rememberance of the butterfly who brought life to a dessolute wasteland...
