Christmas Rose Subject Of Legend According to the legend of the Christmas rose, among the visitors to the stable at Bethle hem that first Christmas was a small girl named Madelon. Madelon, the child of a shep herd, witnessed the bright star in the heavens and saw the Wise Men journeying to Beth lehem with presents for the Christ Child. Unhappy that she had no gifts to take to Bethlehem, Madelon sank to the ground and wept. Suddenly, an angel appeared and asked the child why she was weeping. When Madelon responded that she wept because she had no gift for the Christ Child, the angel reminded her that “A gift of the heart is best of all.** The angel then disappeared and was replaced by a beautiful rose tree, bearing fair white blooms. Madelon gathered the blos soms and hurried to the manger at Bethlehem. She lay her gift before the manger, and so the story goes, the white blossoms turned a most beautiful pink— the first Christmas roses. HOLIDAY STAlHSh How do you remove Christmas stains?
