Christ Legends

This collection of reverent, folkloric retellings moves through the world of Christ's birth and the lives touched by it, blending biblical wonder with legend, prophecy, and intimate human memory. It opens with "The Holy Night," where a grandmother's Christmas tales shape a child's faith, leading to the revelation that divine glory appears to those with compassionate hearts. In "The Emperor's Vision," imperial pride is overturned when Augustus, seeking a sign for his own temple, is shown a humble stable where a newborn child is the true object of worship. "The Wise Men's Well" turns to the desert and the mystery of the Magi, as a dying well recalls the star-guided journey of three sages toward a royal birth. Later tales bring the same spiritual imagination to Roman power: Faustina, living in renunciation, learns of Tiberius's ruin and visits the shattered emperor, whose suffering and isolation are softened by her quiet presence. Throughout, the stories exalt humility, mercy, and the hidden radiance of sacred events. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
