Epiphany: a four fold feast

At the visitation of the Magi, the Christ child's divinity is revealed to all the other nations on Earth. Three kings or wise men journey to deliver their gifts to the holy child. Each bringing a symbolic treasure.

For Christ himself:

• Gold represents Christ’s kingship
• Frankincense, a sweet-smelling resin used in worship - his priesthood
• Myrrh, an ointment used in burial - foreshadows his death

For humanity, the gifts meant:

• Frankincense - time for God
• Myrrh - time for Self
• Gold -time for Family

HERitage & HIStory

The blistering cold of western winters are keeping #wonderwanderwomen indoors. Safe and snug inside, our thoughts are drawn within and back home. 

A recent return to our hometown where we were born and raised was a trip down memory lane and added opportunity to dig into our roots.
