We had our annual Epiphany celebration today. The word "celebration" might be a bit much. We dialed things down a lot this year, due to my lower energy levels. However, the wise men from our nativity did get moved from the fireplace mantel to their proper place by the baby Jesus. We also ate our usual Epiphany dinner, which included Mediterranean Chicken and Butternut Squash Stew with citrus couscous. Daddy read the story of the wise men from the Bible at the dinner table. I gave the kids a Christmas ornament featuring the three wise men, which is another one of our Epiphany traditions.
"When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh." Matt. 2:10-11
