Nativity Story:
An angel of the Lord visited Mary. He told her “Because of God’s love for the world, you will give birth to a son. You will name Him Jesus. He will save His people from their sins.” So, Joseph and Mary went to Bethlehem. Mary gave birth to her son, wrapping Him in cloths. She placed him in a manger, because there was no room at the inn. There were shepherds watching their flocks in a field. An angel of the Lord appeared and glory shown all around. Suddenly, more angels appeared, praising God and proclaiming peace. Three kings from the East followed a star and brought the Savior gifts. A King had been born.
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.
The Christmas star continues to adorn the churches and houses as part of the traditional Christmas celebrations. The star stands for high hopes and ideals, a hope for a good fortune and to reach above oneself.
The Christmas Rose.
Christmas Rose is an English plant that is regarded as a true Christmas flower. It is sometimes called the Snow or Winter Rose. It blooms in the depths of winter in the mountains of Central Europe. Legend links it with the birth of Christ and a modest shepherd maiden named Madelon. As Madelon tended her sheep one cold and wintry night, wise men and other shepherds passed by the snow-covered field, where she was, with their gifts for the Christ Child. The wise men carried the rich gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense and the shepherds, fruits, honey and doves. Poor Madelon began to weep at the thought of having nothing to offer, not even a simple flower for the Newborn King, as she was very poor indeed. And as she stood there weeping, an angel saw her sorrow, and brushed aside the snow at her feet to reveal a most beautiful white flower tipped with pink, the Christmas rose.

December.
The name originated from the Latin word decem meaning ten. In the Old Roman calendar, December was the 10th month, with March being the beginning of the Roman year. King Pompilis added January and February as a means of modernizing the dating system, but left December as the last month.
