The Christmas Wreath – Merry Christmas

 

The legend of the Christmas Wreath

Long ago an orphan boy sought comfort from the cold in church where all bore gifts… riches of silver and gold.

Though the boy had no gift, he would not despair, for his life had been filled in blessed grace and prayer.

He took a holly branch and tied a circle in a crown, then brought it to the church and at the altar, laid it down.

The wreath began to sparkle as brilliant berries glowed above, a testament to the strength of prayer and God’s encircling love.
