3 wise men, magi, Kings....etc


The three wise-men

Ernie Rea chairs Radio 4's theological discussion programme in which guests from different faith and non-faith perspectives debate the challenges of today's world.

Each week a panel is assembled to represent a diversity of views and opinions, which often reveal hidden, complex and sometimes contradictory understandings of the world around us.
In this programme, Ernie Rea and guests discuss the story of the visit of the Magi, or Wise-men to the infant Jesus told in St Matthew's account of the Nativity.
Who could the Magi have been? From where did they travel, having seen a star in the east and why would they have recognised it as a significant sign? Is there more to this story than a colourful image on a Christmas card and the inspiration for a well known carol?

Excellent episode from 27th December 2010 that I was listening to today.
At 21:42 contains;
The things that are worth having you have to work for, and they can take time, and there are dark times in the journey as well, but you keep going.

Indeed you do.
And I am
