coming from the East to worship the
baby Jesus.
What were the Magi? And why did they
travel so far to find the Child King?

people of Israel?

The gift of God's Son is, of course, at the heart of our Christmas
festivities. We are not--and never--alone, because "God is with
us." (Thus the name Emmanuel.) But wait, that's not all!
The liturgy reminds us over and over that this is a "holy
exchange." As Christ came to share in our humanity, we come to
share in his divinity.
The full significance of that mystery is a gift we have yet to unwrap
