On one, cold, snowy Christmas Eve in Germany’s Black Forest, a poor peasant family was sitting down for a meager supper when suddenly they heard somebody’s wailing. In the very first thought they took it as the noise of the blowing wind. But as the wailing went on repeatedly, they opened the door and found a poor beggar, shivering in cold. They let the beggar come in. As he went blue in cold, the shepherd family wrapped him in blankets and shared their food with him.
Immediately, the blankets were shed, thus revealing he man. The shepherds were surprised to see him in shining white clothing with a heavenly halo around his head. Proclaiming himself as the Christ Child, the man fled. The very next morning, the shepherd family found two white chrysanthemums on the place outside the door where He stood the last night.
