The Christmas rose, story about compassion for children
It was a winter night of a lot, very cold. The icy wind whistled loudly. The earth was frozen and covered with a thick layer of ice and snow. With a time like this, it was best to stay at home by the fireplace ...
Samuel, the young pastor, had heard people talk about the birth of a child in a stable quite close to his house. As it was such a cold day, he thought: poor baby, in a barn ... with this cold, it's going to freeze!
Samuel was born in summer, when the roses were blooming. Many people came with gifts the day he was born. Everyone wanted to meet him! The sun shone brightly and the good weather encouraged the neighbors to come to his house. But now ... everything was so gray and cold. So he wondered if the boy in the barn would have someone to visit him.
Apparently, the parents of the newborn were not from this area and did not know anyone. Decidedly, Samuel wanted to go visit the new baby in the barn. "I just want to see him to make sure he's okay," he thought. So he decided to leave. Se Samuel wrapped himself well: he wrapped himself in his warm fur coat tightly to protect himself from the wind and the cold. Despite the illusion of seeing the child, I was a little sad, because Samuel was so poor that he had no gift for the little one ...
He was walking with his head cocked, thoughtful, when suddenly
he saw something bright under a tree, something that looked like a flower. - "In the middle of winter? - he thought - that can not be true. " He ran to her to see her better. And, indeed, growing on a sturdy stem
there was a white flower with five petals . It looked like a five-pointed star! This would be his gift.Samuel took the little flower and hurried. Finally he arrived at the stable and placed himself in front of the baby, who was lying in a manger.
Samuel carried the flower in his hand. The little shepherd was very close to the newborn, and just as he leaned towards him, to give him his flower, a powerful ray of light illuminated the manger. The light, golden in color, came from the small for Samuel held in his hands. Since that day, that flower, which blooms every Christmas,
is called Christmas rose .
