ROSEMARY FOR REMEMBRANCE
The rosemary shrub, symbol of fi-
delity and constancy, was once sup-
posed to possess many occult virtues.
Hamlet's Ophelia said, "There's rose-
mary, that's for remembrance." The
fact that rosemary blooms at Christ-
mas has introduced it into celebration
of this feast.
Rosemary, according to one legend,
opened to hide the Virgin Mary and
her child from the soldiers of Herod,
a. legend shared with the juniper and
other trees.
Another legend says that, during the
flight to Egypt, Mary threw her blue
cloak over a bush of rosemary when
she lay down to rest. Ever since, in
her honor, the flowers have been the
heavenly blue of the mantle."
