I am Melchior


“Where is the newborn king of the Jews?
We saw his star at its rising
and have come to do him homage.”
...
And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them,
until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.
They were overjoyed at seeing the star,
and on entering the house
they saw the child with Mary his mother.
They prostrated themselves and did him homage.
Then they opened their treasures
and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.


Mt 2

What a gift it was to see the kids dressed as the "Three Kings". I didn't know Thomas was Melchior, but he certainly looked "regal" Mom S.
