Have you heard of the Aztec Legend of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl? At the heart of this Mexican Legend from Aztec Mythology are two volcanoes overlooking Mexico City.  A legend sometimes referred to as the Romeo and Juliet of Central America, this legend tells of a princess and a warrior whose love burns bright, but because of unfortunate circumstances, die of grief and are turned into the beautiful snow capped mountains looming large over the city. In Fairy Tale Flip episode 5, Donna Lee Fields of Doorways to Learning and Vanessa Y Rogers of Fabric of Folklore dive into the history of the Aztecs, the legend, the language, spirituality, connection to nature and the different versions to understand the story's hidden meanings. Don't miss this one!
