A long time ago, when the gods had not yet descended to people, a beautiful goddess fell in love with the son of a tribal leader. They started seeing each other secretly. But soon the father of the goddess found out about their feelings and forbade them to meet. The girl did not submit to his will and stealthily tried to meet her lover. Her father found out about this and punished her daughter by making her invisible.
Even being invisible to her lover, the goddess continued to come to him. The young man gathered all the most beautiful flowers in the area to weave a cape for his beloved and see at least her silhouette. As soon as he threw a floral robe over the goddess, they burst into bitter tears. The tears of the beloved touched the father, and he lifted the curse.
A cape of flowers fell to the ground and after a while wonderful flowers sprang up in this place, which in shape resemble a garment made by a young man. Since then, calla lilies have been a symbol of family happiness.
