Magi on the move

The magi came “from the east”, following a star – – so they had to have been traveling for months – – but they still arrive late! (They don’t arrive till epiphany, January 6.)

But maybe they’re not late, maybe they’re considerate of the stress around a new birth, and they wanted to wait till all the kerfuffle had died down and Mary was feeling restored.

These garments are actually for the Infant of Prague—but they were donated to the store without an accompanying statue of the infant.

The toys said they would far rather be magi: “babies are the  boring parts,” it was declared. However, on January 6 they would like to be referred to as the Triplets of Prague. (After …Belleville?)
