Legends and myths are an important part of many cultures, they explain events, give reasons for unexplained phenomena and tell the origin of things. One of my favorite legends is the story of Medusa, she was a beautiful, innocent and attractive young woman who was cursed by Athenea because of Zeus. She turned into an evil woman who can kill with just a single look.

The Nun's Cup, or the Nun of San Juan de Dios
It is located in San Juan de Dios Hospital (City of San José), one of the oldest hospitals in Costa Rica than in the past was attended by religious, or colloquially, nuns. They were dressed in white and wore a headdress shaped high paper boat.
Legend has it that a nun, quite moody denied water to anyone who requested it, or disregarded the last wish of a dying (a glass of water) and let it die without drinking. The nun, sorry, now worth the corridors of the hospital offering a glass to the sick. Many say that the drink heal miraculously.

Their dress is a conical hat like the rest of his clothes are made of quilineja, a plant trepadoracon which says it is able to cut any tree with just three hits. The inhabitants of Chiloé have their legends that creature has enormous strength, its origin is uncertain, although it said it would be a bastard son of the mythical snake Caicai, born of the union of the anger he felt the snake to the humans, and ingratitude that many men have to the sea, everything that gives us

I like more the history of the Caleuche question, in short, that if by chance a person, witch is not about the Caleuche simple becomes a floating tree, and if the individual tries to steal the tree, it back. Other times it becomes a rock or any other object and becomes invisible.
The crew become lions or waterfowl. and this story comes from southern Chile

Legend has it that the Caleuche is a ship that sails and roam the seas of Chiloé and southern channels.
It is manned by powerful sorcerers, and on dark nights is lavishly illuminated. In his voyages, aboard constantly listening to music. Hidden in the midst of a dense fog, which he produces. Never sail in the light of day.
If by chance a person, witch is not about the Caleuche simple becomes a floating tree, and if the individual tries to steal the tree, it recedes. Other times it becomes a rock or any other object and becomes invisible.
The crew become lions or waterfowl.
They report that the crew have only one leg to walk and the other is folded back, so go by leaps and bounds. They are all idiots and forgetful, to ensure the secrecy of what happens on board.

Mothers take every precaution to prevent their daughters, and "single", traveling alone to the mountain, in search of firewood or leaves "radal" for the "deciduous" of sheep, it is usually in the course of these tasks, when "get" or more properly "breathes"with its "pahueldún, lonely girls, but not if they are accompanied, even younger siblings.
The Trauco not acting in front of witnesses ... this, always alert, he spends much of the day hanging on the hook for a big "ticket", waiting for his victim.

In Guatavita's village in the former Colombia, his chief realized a fantastic rite: his body was applying a sticky substance, adding the thinnest cap of ground gold; achieving a fantastic appearance. They called it " golden man ", whom then they would accompany up to Siecha's lagoon, where it would finish the rite of abundance.
This way they were placing it in a raft provided with magic powders, up to coming to the center of the lagoon where the Indian chief was jumping to the water; leaving the most beautiful fingerprint of the gold in powder. It would be the sign of good auguries. And though in 1527, the Indians Muysca would triumph with the race guatavita, there would persist the myth of " The Gilding " that had his origin in that " golden man ", that the Spanish knew, increasing the greed of his adventure mad to find " the kingdom of the gold "

men, sank the ground and isolated hill where she lived, creating alternating areas of water and land. Hot springs and cold water around the place, and made the land to grow all kinds of food in abundance.
Cleito gave birth to five pairs of male twins. Poseidon then divided the island into ten parts, giving the eldest son of the first pair of his mother's house and surrounding land, and made him king over others. For the others he made princes, and gave them a large territory. The eldest of these sons named him Atlas and it's island and the ocean were called Atlantic.

She and he had never seen. Born in the same country and in the same city but lived in the antipodes, each on the opposite side of the world. When was the day for one to the other was at night and vice versa. When an error casual ties between bytes and megabytes, and could not help knowing a little more. Over time they perceive that their clocks ahead or delays twelve hours. Every time you say good morning and good night felt every feeling good morning good night. With each step they took thought they had the feeling of advancing to meet him, every word seemed to resound in the other and heard each sentence seemed to come from each. Every gesture inadvertently transformed into a signal, a watchword in the distance, every breath seemed to bear and bring your breath. And spent the days and months, minutes and seconds while I was growing up in happiness in a strange and mysterious force brought them together more and more and more with the same attraction that pulls two elementary subatomic particles to travel the world of art to end, from top to bottom, corner to corner to spot one day meet face to face and kiss and kiss and not be separated in this life Neverland.

According to Works and Days of Hesiod, had a jar that contained all the evils. Pandora barely saw it, opened it and let the evils from flooding the land. By the time managed to close the jar, the only thing left inside was hope, so that humans did not. From this myth comes from the term 'open Pandora's box. "In this tradition, Pandora is the bane of humanity as Eva.
