Surprisingly, this tropical fruit is said to be named not for the passionate propensity it promotes but because particular parts of the plant's flowers resemble different symbols of Christ's crucifixion, such as the crown of thorns. Obviously, the term passion referred to Jesus' suffering long before it evolved other, more sultry meanings.

To be honest I did't know the origine of the name. And in Mexico we have another sort of Passion Fruit but I don't remember the name of it. I'll have to ask Chilo,Tito, Silvia, Lalo or Leo ;).
I have tried to tick on the pic but I did't move at all ;)
