Descripción

While Anna and her daughter Jodie were visiting a little stone church in France, the wind came up and suddenly they were showered with thousands of fresh rose petals. Since there was nobody else around they felt perplexed, especially when Anna said this had also once happened to her mother when she had visited the same church. Then she added that she knew her mom had written about this in one of her diaries.
Later, they read the diary and discovered that Anna's mother had found a way to hide messages for the soldiers inside the rosary beads. They also found out that she had sat on the steps of the church during WW2 and distributed the rosaries to the men that gave her the correct password, while she gave ordinary rosaries to other passersby.
They later viewed a BBC documentary on the subject and the announcer said that to honor the woman that had made the rosaries, the people in her village threw baskets of fresh rose petals out into the wind in June each year.
-But then Jodie quickly pointed out that they were there in November, - so where had those rose petals come from?
