The Magi present their Gifts

"The star of light shed its rays among them that were in darkness

and guided them as though they were blind

so that they came and met the great Light:

they gave offerings and received life and adored and departed".

 

– from an Epiphany hymn by St Ephraim the Syrian.

 

Today is the Feast of the Epiphany, and my sermon for today can be read here.

 

Detail from a medieval tapestry made by a Swiss Dominican nun. The tapestry is in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow.
