About This Book

On Christmas Eve a poor orphan boy named Anton becomes lost in a snowy forest and, exhausted and freezing, kneels to pray for help. He hears a heavenly song that restores his courage and follows its sound to a lone cottage where a family has gathered around an illuminated nativity tableau. The household sings and accompanies the carol with a harp, offering a vivid miniature of the manger scene while the boy watches from the doorway, deeply moved. The narrative foregrounds faith, compassion, and practical charity, showing how warmth and human kindness embody the season's message.
