CHRISTMAS ROSE (HELLEBORUS NIGER) — See page 21 
Legend of the 
Christnias Rose 
The little girl wept bitterly for in the manger the 
Christ Child lay and she alone had no gift to offer. Then 
amidst great light an Angel appeared and cried, ‘“Be- 
hold without!” And lo, the ground about was white as 
snow with waxen bloom. Quickly and thankfully she 
gathered a lovely gift and then with tear stained face 
offered them unto her Lord. Thus was born the Christ- 
mas Rose.
