An angel gave a child a Hellebore because . . .


A Christmas Rose, the Lenten Rose, a Hellebore. This is not the best example, however it has been with us in our garden for many, many years.
The legend attached to the Hellebore is that an angel gave one to a child because he did not have a present to give to the baby Jesus; hence it being called a Christmas Rose.
