The delicate beauty of the Christ
mas rose (helleborus niger) is hallow
ed by legend. A poor shepherd girl,
the story goes, wept bitterly as she
watched the Wise Men on their way
to the Christ Child bearing rich gifts
when she had nothing. An angel ap
peared. Upon learning the reason for
the girl’s distress, the angel caused
the ground to be carpeted with shin
ing white flowers. The young shep
herdess gathered some blossoms, As
she presented her gift, the Infant
smiled and as His. fingers touched
the white flowers the petals became
tinged with pink.
