...arrive at the palace, where a king ought to be. They ask the current reigning King Herod about the new King. They have been following his star - Herod consults the scribes and scholars...
...the song - "I Saw Three Ships" - has long been associated with the Magi's camels... indeed, in that time, camels were the great carriers of goods - ships across the desert...
...when the Magi found him, they worshipped him...
...worship means, "to bow down" - which they did...
...and now a version of the song I hope you enjoy...
Never thought of that, or made the connection between ship of the desert and ships sailing by. Thanks for pointing it out.

ReplyDeleteI liked that version too. You've given me so much this year, Mike. Have a warm Christmas with the family!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this a lot. My son was a piano major in college. An accountant today but he still composes his own music. Also teaching his young sons how to play. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
