 STORY OF THE
LLORONA
This legend is originally from Mexico, there are different versions of how the
legend of La Llorona arose. One alludes to the myths of pre-Hispanic times,
such as Xtabay from the Mayan culture, as well as the Tzitzimimes or
Cihuacóatl from the Mayan culture.
It is about a woman who loses her children and becomes a
lost soul who wanders the world searching in vain for her
children, disturbing those who hear her with her crying.
It is said that the woman wanders through the town of
Xochimilco looking for her dead children, whose children
had died “drowned” in some lake but it is said that she
herself drowned her own children.
It is said that she suffered rejection from her husband
and, as a sign of spite, she murdered her children. Which
feeling of guilt makes me shout in the streets at night “Oh
my children!”
Her physical appearance is said to be long black hair,
bright eyes and dressed in white.

 OUR VERSION
La Llorona was a very gentle and loving woman with her
children, she lived like any other person, a very quiet
life.
One day he went out with his children to take a break;
Their sad story began when they
drowned in a river... It is still said
that late at night you can hear her
cries, crying for her children, and
that under no circumstances should
you go near the rivers, much less
with children since she will leave the
mark of her hand on them and it only
means a stuff...
She will come for the children no
matter what, wherever you are, she
will find you to seek the love of her
children in other children.
