Epiphany Sunday
“If
the Magi had come in search of an earthly King, they would have been
disconcerted at finding that they had taken the trouble to come such a
long way for nothing. Consequently, they would have neither adored nor
offered gifts. But since they sought a heavenly King, though they found
in Him no signs of royal pre-eminence, yet, content with the testimony
of the star alone, they adored: for they saw a man, and they
acknowledged a God.”
~ St. John Chrysostom, c. 344 - 407 AD, Bishop and Doctor of the
Church
