In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, the Apple Seed brings you two ancient myths from Central America.

(1:05) "The Hungry Goddess and the Five Suns" by Carolina Quiroga. An Aztec myth that tells the cycles of creation the earth and sun went through while the gods tried to get it right.

(14:34) Sam tells us about how families can create creation myths or beliefs and how his mother stitched her beliefs into a family flag.

(19:11) "Niño Oro or How Gold Got Its Name" by Jasmin Cardenas. Did you know the sun used to be much bigger and hotter? Here's how one brave boy solved the problem.

Stories bring us together, and the stories on The Apple Seed will spark memories that you can share with the people you love. The Apple Seed is a storytelling podcast by BYUradio and is hosted by Sam Payne.
