In Christian worship, the sermon is usually preached using passages from the Bible. Pastor Helmut Schütz often bases his sermons on texts of old hymns in order to translate their meaning, which has become partly incomprehensible for modern ears, into the present time and to make it sound new. This book contains eleven sermons on old familiar and less well-known songs from the Christmas season, from Advent ("A ship is coming, loaded") to Christmas ("Merrily shall my heart leap") to the feast of the appearance of the star of Bethlehem ("How beautifully shines the morning star"). Pictures of the little rose in the cold winter and of the sky being torn open are also discussed, as well as very topical formulations of the "God in disguise" or of peace "on outraged earth". The book got its title from the interpretation of the almost classical Christmas song "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen". This book has been translated with Artificial Intelligence.
