The Christmas Box Angel Statue was introduced to the world in the
book The Christmas Box, a worldwide bestseller and hit television
movie by author Richard Paul Evans. In the book, at the base of an
angel monument, a woman mourns the loss of her child. Though the
story is mostly fiction, the angel monument once existed but is
speculated to have been destroyed. Richard Paul Evans commissioned
the new angel statue in response to reports that grieving parents
were seeking out the angel as a place to grieve and heal. The
original monument was dedicated in Salt Lake City, Utah on December
6, 1994 - corresponding with the date of the child's death in The
Christmas Box. The sculpture is the creation of a father and son
from Salt Lake City and modeled according to the description in
Evan's book. The face of the angel is that of Evan's second
daughter, Allyson-Danica. On the angel's right wing is the word
"hope". Flowers sent from around the world adorn the base of the
monument year round, accompanying notes from parents for their
"little angels". On December 6th of each year a candlelight healing
ceremony is held at the base of the Christmas Box Angel Monument.
