Description 🔉

A rather quirky religious collectable - a 19th century packet of petals gathered from a Rose Tree in Assisi. According to the tradition, in a penitential mood, St Francis tried to jump into a bed of nettles but God changed them into rose bushes. The same bushes are said to be there to this day.
