Opis

The traditional advent wreath does not include a candle for the Wise Men, but we know they have a special place in our Christmas celebrations. They deserve our interest. This book continues the story to Epiphany, which is January 6, the day the Wise Men were thought to have arrived in Bethlehem. It emphasizes the significance of Epiphany both as a day and as an experience.

What is the meaning of Epiphany? The Wise Men had an epiphany, just as we have them. It is that magical moment when the light goes on in your head. Suddenly you know something to be true. The Wise Men knew Jesus was special, unique, worthy of the efforts they had made to meet Him. The word-of-mouth predictions they had heard were right on.

As in her first book, Prepare Our Hearts, the author presents a story with a Bible reference and suggests an activity the family can enjoy together. The stories and suggestions can help each family create special times, memories to cherish. The goal is to enrich the family experience by sharing thoughts, activities, and learning together.
