Anthony Rüddger was a boy who lived with his family in Munich, Germany in the year 1890. He had shown exceptional talent for drawing since an early age. By the age of 12, he was already recognized as an extraordinary artist. The Organizers of the Annual Concert, which was held on Christmas Eve, commissioned Anthony to draw what would be the emblem of the concert. "The Messenger of the Lord" was to be the artwork that would be displayed at the concert. Anthony created the artwork but feels he failed to give the accurate expression of the Angel's face. He asked for divine intervention. Suddenly, an angel appeared to support him and to guide the completion of the artwork. The Angel instructed Anthony into the secrets of drawing until he became a master himself. Then the angel took Anthony on a fantastic journey to several countries where he taught four very talented children the art of drawing. On that trip, Anthony shared the struggle of these children against various adversities they faced in their lives. Anthony taught his new friends the instructions to improve their skills in drawing, as the Angel taught him. By helping children to cope and improve their adverse situations, Anthony developed virtues which make him a leader. Under the guidance of the angel, he began a campaign to teach children around the world how to draw. You can be part of this fascinating story. We invite you to read "The Messenger of the Lord, A Christmas Carol" and discover the drawing secrets and keep the Christmas spirit with Anthony Rüddger and the Angel.
