Today's child of Bethlehem,
needs the #Epiphany gifts of golden hope for a better future,
the rising frankincense prayers for peace with justice,
and myrrh to anoint the precious bodies of those made in the image and likeness of God

The Feast of the #Epiphany with a favourite image. The Dream of the Magi carved in Autun Cathedral. The angel gently wakens the crown-wearing magi with the touch of one finger and points out the guiding star to the one who has opened his eyes. Marked 'Gislebertus hoc fecit'
For #Epiphany we share this 14th-century painting by a follower of Giotto showing The Adoration of the Magi
Our commentary asks:
Who are the three Black figures in this Adoration of the Kings, painted in the 1340s?
