\"wisemen\"<\/a>The Gifts of the Kings Puzzle<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We look at the nativity, talked about the wise men coming from other countries.\u00a0\u00a0 The 3 wise men (3 kings) were some of the first people to worship Jesus. They were from different countries and didn\u2019t speak the Hebrew language.\u00a0 God opened salvation to all peoples not just the Jewish people!<\/p>\n

\"magi\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a prayer service for the Epiphany and lit a candle for our intentions (friends and family who may be sick, grieving or rejoicing) We stood in front of the altar near the Tabernacle, Baptism font, and the Ambry (Blest Are We<\/em> p.120)<\/p>\n
