Description: THE SHOWER OF ROSES. © 1929. Michael Hahn; title, descr. & 68 prints, 24Jun29; LU489.

This 1929 dramatized film combines religious devotion, miraculous healing, and family relationships, portraying a poignant and spiritual narrative centered around faith and transformation. It begins with scenes of illness and prayer, depicting a nun's compassionate care for a sick woman, followed by her own death and ascension to heaven. The story transitions into a series of divine interventions, including a vision of a saint and a miraculous recovery that inspires the woman to dedicate her life to faith. Themes of loss, devotion, and healing are illustrated through symbolic visuals, such as statues of saints, religious rituals, and the interplay between life, death, and the divine. The film intertwines these events with familial emotions, including grief, hope, and consent to the woman's ultimate decision to join the church. The narrative culminates with the woman's pilgrimage to Lisieux and a symbolic act of devotion as she places flowers before a saint's statue, blending themes of faith, love, and personal transformation.
