Description
Many women have changed the course of history, yet we rarely hear their story today. Juana Azurduy de Padilla was instrumental in the Bolivian war for independence and Rufina Amaya's testimony uncovered one of the most cruel massacres in Latin American history, both the United States government and the Salvadoran government tried to deny it. Next week, we will return to spooky stories, but today, we share the story of these amazing women. Both stories occurred during a time of war, and include murder, death and rape, listen with caution.

The Legend of the Cuetlaxochitl: The legend of the Cuetlaxochitl, now more commonly called the Poinsettia or the Christmas flower, has a long history in Mexico. Before the Spanish, it had different medicinal uses and one 16th century legend would forever associate it with Christmas. We (Cristina and MJ) also share Christmas traditions we grew up with, different Christmas traditions around Latin America, we talk about El Dia de los Reyes Magos, some St Nicholas history and we end the episode with an Espooky Christmas story (around minute 34:00 if you want to skip all the Christmas stuff and go straight to the espooky stuff). We hope you enjoy- Cristina and MJ.
