^ FEAST GROSES, and the'REO ROSE CHURCH? 



WE know of no more unique ceremony in America, than Manheim's "Feast of Roses." In 1750, Baron Heinrich Wil- 

 helm Stiegel coming from Germany settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and founded the little town of Man- 

 heim. He prospered in business and later deeded to the Lutheran congregation (which he organized in 1769), a plot 

 of ground for the erection of a house of worship with the following stipulation: "yielding and paying therefor at the said town 

 of Manheim, in the month of June, yearly forever after, the rent of ONE RED ROSE, if the same shall be lawfully demanded." 

 And now each year with appropriate exercises, the congregation of the Manheim Lutheran church, pay to the heirs of 

 Baron Stiegel the unique ground rent of "One Red Rose," and each year recalls the memory of a man who though " dying 

 in poverty, had yet left the noblest of all memorials, the love, reverence and gratitude of a community whose industry he 

 had stimulated, whose ideals he had fostered, for whose spiritual welfare he had made permanent provision." Published with 

 permission of Rev. A. E. Cooper, Pastor. 



Above are shown the " One Red Rose " and The Manheim Lutheran Church.
