Epiphany is upon us marking the official end of Christmas. January 6 marks the date the Magi, or the Three Wise Men, followed the Star of Bethlehem to visit the baby Jesus.
The Magi by William Butler Yeats
Now as at all times I can see in the mind's eye,
In their stiff, painted clothes, the pale unsatisfied ones
Appear and disappear in the blue depths of the sky
With all their ancient faces like rain-beaten stones,
And all their helms of silver hovering side by side,
And all their eyes still fixed, hoping to find once more,
Being by Calvary's turbulence unsatisfied,
The uncontrollable mystery on the bestial floor.
