Epiphany is when we celebrate the magi who came seeking Baby Jesus born King of the Jews. Around 200 AD, folklore made them three kings according to the number of gifts they brought. But in reality, these were Persian astrologers, astronomers, and scientists familiar with both the Jewish prophecies about the Messiah’s birth and uncommon astrological occurrences believed to indicate the birth of a new king. Interesting how these pagan seekers found Jesus, while those within the Jewish religious establishment missed out entirely on Jesus’ coming.
