“The Eastern Sages saw from far, and followed on His guiding star. And led by light to light they trod and by their gifts confessed their God.” The Star Proclaims the King is Here
It saddens me that Christmastide has come to an end but Christ’s birth continues to bless us and we still have more events in our Savior’s life to celebrate. Epiphany has come and we are reminded of the visit from Magi out of the East. This event in the life of our young Lord has always been so mysterious to me. Who were these men? What did they know about this new “King of the Jews”. Why did they feel the urge to come so far and acknowledge Him, worship Him and confess Him God? And why were Mary and Joseph still in Jerusalem?
