THREE KINGS DAY...

THREE KINGS DAY...
Sixth of January, Twelfth Night, three kings day, The day of Epiphany – when the three wise men came – is the day after, on 6 January.
The New Testament does not give the names of the Magi.
However, traditions and legends identify a variety of different names for them.
In the Western Christian church, they have all been regarded as saints and are commonly known as:
Melchior, a Persian scholar;
Caspar, is often considered to be an Indian scholar.
Balthazar a Babylonian scholar.
Three gifts are explicitly identified in Matthew: gold, frankincense, and myrrh,
Since English translations of the Bible refer to them as "men who studied the stars", they are believed to have been astrologers, who could foresee the birth of a "Messiah" from their study of the stars.
The day is celebrated in many different cultures still.
Three Bromeliads, sprayed gold. LOL, like crowned kings, LOL
Have a super day and thank you, M, (*_*)
