A brilliant star lead three worshiping astrologers to a lowly manger where the child King lay.
The Lord who would would change the wold forever, sleeping in straw.
Isn't it a wondrous story?
Actually, the bible never says there were 3 wise men- it is assumed to be 3 in representation of the gifts they brought. I didn't believe this when I heard it on NPR, but sure enough, no version of any bible I could get my hands on says "three"! Just a fun Christmas fact :) Hope you are having a wonderful week!!
