“Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him” (Matthew 2:2).

The joyous anticipation of the birth of the Christ child has passed but continues to be celebrated. The twelve days between December 25 and January 6 are often called the “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Epiphany, January 6, celebrates the visit of the Magi to the Christ child.

Those twelve days after Christ’s birth should be an ongoing celebration of excitement and wonder for all Christians. What a blessing God gave us! 

The Wisemen from the East fell down and worshiped Jesus as King. As we worship and offer our gifts to the Christ child, let us remember that Jesus is King forever!

The lwml.org/program-helps webpage has several devotions, readings, and Bible studies which could be used to help us reflect and learn about the Magi and how they came, worshipped, and adored Jesus Christ.

May we honor and glorify our Savior as the Magi did!
