  "summary": "\"Love Came Down at Christmas\" is a short Christmas poem by Christina Rossetti that meditates on divine love as the heart of the nativity. Across three quiet stanzas, Rossetti moves from the wonder of Christ's birth — heralded by star and angels — to a searching question: what worthy sign can we offer in worship? Her answer is both simple and profound, proposing love itself as the only token, gift, and plea that matters, binding humanity to God and to one another.",
