But today is
THE EPIPHANY~
"the manifestation of CHRIST to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi" (Lexico)
THE EPIPHANY~
"We Three Kings"
coming to see the CHRIST CHILD~
"And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem.
It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the CHILD was.
When they saw the star, they were filled with joy!
They entered the house and saw the CHILD with his mother,
Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped HIM.
Then they opened their treasure chests and gave HIM gifts
of gold, frankincense, and myrrh" (Matthew 2:9-11).

Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky, little lamb, Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite" (Do You Hear What I Hear)

"And, I pray, that the eyes of your heart~
the very center and core of your being~
may be enlightened, flooded with light by the HOLY SPIRIT, so that you will know
and cherish the hope~
the divine guarantee, the confident expectation,
to which HE has called you,
the riches of HIS glorious inheritance in the saints (GOD's people)" (Ephesians 1:18) .
