Stow Christmas Box Angel of Hope Children's Memorial

A beautiful replica of The Christmas Box Angel of Hope, inspired by the book The Christmas Box, stands in a serene setting in Silver Springs Cemetery in Stow, OH. The Christmas Box became a best selling book which lovingly told of a mother’s grief and eventual solace over the loss of her child. The Christmas Box Angel of Hope was created by the author, Richard Paul Evans, and was first built in Salt Lake City. It has become a truly meaningful memorial to children all over the world.

Due to the incredible passion and work of a group of dedicated bereaved parents, the Angel was brought to Stow in 2001. The Christmas Box Angel of Hope Children’s Memorial is a peaceful place for grieving parents whose children have died, before or after birth, to mourn, heal, and remember their beloved children. It has also given parents, family, and friends an opportunity to connect with one another and share their grief as they visit the memorial.
