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."
