The Star.
The star symbolizes the star that appeared, quite miraculously, in the eastern sky on the birth of Jesus Christ. The star is believed to have guided shepherds and the magi, who were the three wise men from the East, to the newborn king. One wonders whether the star that shined that night was any different from those of today. The star was indeed a strange star and people continue to believe that a miracle occurred at the birth of Christ. Select this link to view our Gold and Cream Ornaments.

Red Roses.
According to the legend, the daughter of one of the Shepherds was at the manger when the baby Jesus was born. Everyone came bearing gifts except the little girl. Having no gift to give, she began to cry. Where each tear fell, a white rose grew. She took the roses and gave them to the baby Jesus. As Jesus touched the roses, the petals turned red as a sign of his delight. Whether given or received, the Christmas rose symbolizes gratitude, joy, love and affection.
