So with the visit of the Magi to Bethlehem the Christmas season comes to an end.Such an important feast though, with its symbolic opening out to all people so that the whole human family is able to share in the love, light and peace of this beautiful Happening .
Sorry for the next piece but I couldn't resist it!----An extract from a Christmas poem written when I was seven, and kept lovingly by my mother for years.----
---He lies asleep in stable bare, with ox and ass to warm him there.
The shepherds are the first to see Jesus on his mother's knee,
And Wise Men come to worship Him, welcoming the Baby- King.
There was an accompanying crayon drawing (sadly lost!) with all the characters very colourfully dressed, and, to the amusement of the class teacher a VERY large electric light bulb replacing the star, and dangling perilously down from the stable roof determined to reach EVERYONE with its far reaching , dazzling rays.----I was so proud of this drawing!
So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.---
Baha u llah.
