CHRISTMAS BIBLE-ART EPISODE #27 of 33






ADORATION
OF THE MAGI




M A T T H E W
CHAPTER 2

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”

The star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and THEY BOWED DOWN AND WORSHIPED HIM. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

It’s hard to pick a favorite- they are all beautiful.

You made my day! Glorious stained glass windows + the stone carving of Strasbourg and the mid-13th c. mosaic of the Florence Baptistry. Well done, Dan!

You’ve adopted them! Because you can’t pick a favorite from among your children....

Life long love ever since I discovered them on a trip to France. Just to sit in contemplation surrounded by an ever changing light filtering through the vibrant colors, gives you a sense of wonderment, spiritual symbolism, almost a lifting of the spirit toward Heaven. You do feel embraced by Heaven.

The stained glass is stunning.

I just realized, the stained glass artists compose individual panels to be beautiful, not only the whole scene.
