[Gocamino] The first Christian pilgrims. Saint Francis

[Lydia Banales]

I loved hearing about the celebration in New York. Regarding the 
"strange" presents of the Three Kings - the gold referred to His 
kingship, the frankincense to His divinity, and the myrrh,(or however 
you spell it!) a spice  used to annoint the dead,  to His death. Of 
course no one knows what gifts were presented, but these are the gifts 
mentioned by the prophets in fortelling the birth of the Messiah. Lydia
