Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Uxmal.

The legend continues: The festivities began with music, singing and dancing, but the young Princess Sac-Nicte was sad because the man she really loved was not at her wedding. She felt as though she had lost her heart. On the third day of the celebrations was the wedding ceremony. Just as Princess Sac-Nicte was about to become Prince Ulil's wife, there came great shouts and Prince Black Serpent appeared with seventy warriors! He grabbed the little princess in his arms, and before anyone knew what was happening, he, Sac-Nicte and the warriors disappeared. Prince Ulil was astonished and furious. The wedding guests looked everywhere for Sac-Nicte, but to no avail. It was as though the earth had literally swallowed them up. Prince Black Serpent and Sac-Nicte married in Chichen-Itza amidst great rejoicing. But in the middle of their happiness word came that Prince Ulil and the king of Mayapan were sending their armies to destroy Chichen-Itza. Prince Black Serpent wanted to fight them, but little Sac-Nitce had a better plan. So, the entire city packed their belongings and began a long march to the south. Princess Sac-Nicte cried a little about leaving her new home. Wherever one of her tears fell, a sac-nicte tree grew up - which is why there are so many of these lovely white flowers around Chichen-Itza.
