As we continue our celebration of the Christmas season this weekend, we celebrate the visit of the three Magi to the Christ child in the feast of the epiphany. I remember as a youth visiting the cathedral in Cologne, Germany, where the remains of the three Magi are interred. The remains of the saints and the martyrs were very important for the cathedrals of medieval Europe, as the more important the saint or martyr, it became a more important pilgrimage destination. The three magi appeal to our imagination and to our faith as they visit the Christ child and bring him precious gifts. We give thanks for the luncheon we are having at Holy Savior at the Sunday morning mass to celebrate the feast of the Epiphany. Blessings to all of you this weekend. Father Lincoln.
