My voice wasn't cooperating with me so I was reading the stanzas of this hymn and was struck by the gold=kingship, frankinsense=prayer to God, myrrh=sacrifice.

All prophesying Christ, I thought.

The alleged remains of the Magi are claimed to have been discovered in the East by St. Helena and brought to Milan in 400, whence they were looted by Frederick Barbarossa in 1162 and given to Cologne. ...the bones in the shrine were wrapped in genuine purple silk from St. Helena's lifetime so some ancient parties unknown have been passing as the Magi for eight centuries.

For some reason, this tickled my Catholic sense of humor.

Interesting piece.

I still like to think of January 6 as Epiphany, though. It was not until January 7 that my mother took down our Christmas decorations, and I have continued with that practice all these years, as do my sisters.

Blessed Epiphany to you, my FRiend.
