#3 - They would have been LATE! But that’s still technically accurate. 😂

They would’ve also vacuumed under the manger and re-arranged everything in the stable.

Your bit of “Wise Women’s actions” is good humor; however, how many know the spiritual significance of the meanings of the 3 gifts? I didn’t learn this until I was well along into my faith journey.

Frankincense: Frankincense (an incense) as a symbol of deity.

Gold: Gold as a symbol of kingship on earth.

Myrrh: Myrrh (an embalming oil) as a symbol of death.

These date back to Origen in Contra Celsum: “gold, as to a king; myrrh, as to one who was mortal; and incense, as to a God.”

And I add this reflection written by a close friend of mine about those gifts: Myrrh Is Mine — A Christmas dream that provided insight concerning one of the Magi. (1960-12) http://www.bswett.com/1960-12Myrrh.html

Blessing to all and Merry Christmas
