THE THREE KINGS: FACT OR FICTION?

The Three Kings of Orient
When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was.When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. 

Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

The Holy Bible
 

The Magi (aka The Three Kings of Orient) are Melchior, Caspar and Balthasar. We don’t know a lot about these three characters who appear January, 5 at night and bring presents to the children.

Maybe, Melchior was Persian…

Maybe, Caspar was Indian…

Maybe, Balthasar was Arabian…

Maybe…

Maybe, they’ll appear in the middle of the night and millions of children will fill their lives of joy and smiles.

In the last decades, the King has been only one: Elvis Presley!




Have a wonderful and magic night!
