A young girl named Madelon wanted to worship the Christ Child. Seeing the gold, frankincense, and myrrh brought by the Magi, she searched the countryside for a flower that she might bring; but the winter had been cold and harsh, and there were no flowers to be found. Saddened, Madelon began to weep. With the help of a passing angel, a bush that bloomed of white roses sprouted in the ground where her tears fell. "No gift is offering more to the Christ Child than these pure Christmas roses born from the tears of innocence." And thus young Madelon went her way and worshipped the Prince of Peace, bearing the gift of her heart and tears.
