The image of “roses in December” calls to mind Our Lady of Guadalupe and how roses blooming in December helped Juan Diego convince a skeptical Bishop.
In the card shown below, Mary is dressed in a blue mantle and light red patterned robe reminiscent of Our Lady of Guadalupe. She holds Jesus in her left hand and three roses in her right hand. Also shown is an Our Lady of Guadalupe statue, icon, and music box that plays “Ave Maria.”
