👑 Who were the 3 magi? What is legend and what is true? ⬇️

👑 For generations, the magi have inspired art and music. Epiphany, the important Christian feast twelve days after Christmas, is a national holiday in many countries throughout the world. What lies at the heart of this celebration and is it still relevant today?

📕Turning to discoveries made by historians, scientists, and theologians, Polish author Grzegorz Górny answers these questions in his book “Three Kings, Ten Mysteries”. With gorgeous four-color photographs on every page, he traces the mysteries of the Magi from the Gospel of Matthew to modern-day astronomy to revived Epiphany celebrations on the streets of secularized European capitals.

Happy Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus!

✨ Following Jewish Law, Jesus was circumcised eight days after his birth and given the name Jesus, according to the instructions of the Archangel Gabriel to Mary at the Annunciation. The name of Jesus is all-powerful, for “there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) Blessed be the Name of Jesus now and forever!

🕊️ Happy Feast of St. John the Beloved Apostle! John has traditionally been identified with the “disciple Jesus loved” who appears in the Gospel of John. He and his brother James along with Peter were invited to be close to Jesus at two critical moments in his life—at his Transfiguration and during his agony at the Garden of Gethsemane. Perhaps it was his intimate contact with the Heart of Jesus that gave him courage to remain at the foot of the cross as Jesus was crucified. There, Jesus gave Mary to John as his mother and ours. St. John, pray for us!
