Selma Lagerlöf
The Legend of the Christmas Rose
It is a wonderful poetic tale about the power of faith, miracles and divine providence, featuring muggers, monks, and children. In the coldest winter, right next to the mugger’s wood-residence, the forest wakes up for a day and flowers start to blossom every Christmas Eve, celebrating the birth of Jesus.
