Description
Snowflakes were drifting over the sleeping village when an angel came down to rest. She chose the garden behind the old presbytery, where a flowered egg sat on a stone pedestal, and settled on its crown with her wings folded. Then she began to sing, so softly that only the cats and the night birds heard her. Her voice threaded through the bare branches and floated over the rooftops.
In the morning, the gardener swore the painted flowers on the egg had grown brighter overnight. No one believed him, but no one could quite explain it either. This box captures that serene and luminous moment. It is a beautiful gift for someone grieving at Christmas, a choir member, a godmother, or any friend who could use a guardian angel. On a dressing table or a bedside shelf, it brings a calm, watchful presence to the room.
