The horseman carries his candle from the walls of Jerusalem to his native Florence. But just recently this horseman was a ruthless warrior, brave and cruel. What made him renounce friends and feasts, and set off on this long and difficult journey? The medieval Florentine legend of a miraculous candle, retold by the Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf, was included in her collection “Legends of Christ,” published in 1904. For secondary school age.
