the rest of the story


Mary and Joseph and the baby lying in a manger. The three kings didn't actually make it to Bethlehem until early January. Three kings day is celebrated in Italy on January 6th which is the official end of the Christmas season. Around here, most of us are done with Christmas at the end of the day! Check out the king's robes. Nice detail.

There were three wise men bearing "gold, frankensense and myrr"...I never knew what was so special about G,F & M. Must have been something from that time...just wondering if you knew...or if any other bloggers knew.
