The legend of the Rose of Jericho

The legend tells the tale of
how when the Lord Jesus Christ went into the desert for 40 days to pray, God
sent the Spirits of the Four Winds to blow a seemingly lifeless tumble weed
called the Rose of Jericho to his feet. This sacred Rose of Jericho
followed Christ during his days within the desert. During the dawn the Rose of
Jericho would collect the moisture from the night’s dew.  Each
morning Jesus would put his fingers to the Rose of Jericho and collect the
little water it had and quench his thirst from the drops of water from the
branches of the plant.  After the 40 days with in the desert, Jesus
blessed the plant as a magical talisman of resurrection and sustaining life
through hardship.

The fabulous plant that grows in the valley of the Dead Sea on the edge of
Jericho in the Judean Desert is called in Christianity the “Resurrection Plant”
as it symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus. It is said that it was granted the
gift of immortality when Maria placed a shroud belonging to her scared baby on
it. The rose blossomed beside the sacred family while they fled to Egypt, it
bloomed on the day of Jesus’ birth and dried up and closed at the time of his
crucifixion and opened up again on Easter Day. Ant that grows in the valley of
