By: Charles Bolanos               We still have more days for Christmas till our Lord's Baptism.                    What I am excited about is  Epiphany, the feast of the Adoration of the Magi.        The feast of the Three Kings is celebrated on 7 January 2018. It is famously called   Epiphany.          They are Kings of the Orient who had been following the big star announcing the birth of the Christ Child. They were the guests of our Lord in the manger, bringing frankincense, myrhh  and gold.              The shrine of the Three Kings is at Cologne Cathedral. Historically known where there bones are buried. It has been the pilgrim site of many Christians.  King Melchor, King of Persia King Balthasar, King of Arabia King Gaspar of the Assyrians (Chaldeans)  (north of Iraq and south of Turkey 2018)
