Did you know?
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, known as Saint Theresa the Little Flower, was a 19th-century French Carmelite nun whose spiritual autobiography became widely influential. Her association with roses stems from her promise after death to "let fall a shower of roses" as signs of her intercession—a devotion that has made her one of Christianity's most beloved modern saints, representing humility, divine love, and spiritual childhood.
