There is a legend that she gained red on the night before the suffering of the Savior at a time when he passed the Goodie Garden. All the flowers that grew there, bowed their heads. And only one lily remained adamant, wanting him to enjoy her beauty to enjoy her beauty. So it was actually - the Savior on the moment stopped his gaze on this proud flower. And then lilies became ashamed for himself. She was able to catch a suffer look at himself and compare his pride with the humility of the Savior. The blush spilled in all her petals and stayed there forever.
