There Are Twelve Days of Christmas
Today is Eve of Epiphany. In our modern time’s hustle and bustle, Old Christmas Eve, as it is also known, is a forgotten day, a lost celebration of old Europe and the middle ages. On this night, God’s Holy Spirit reveals Himself upon the earth to those of faith. Late at night, across the world, cattle and sheep in dark barns and fields, can be heard praying in their animal languages. One must listen very quietly to hear them as they celebrate the witnessing of the animals of so very long ago to the visitation of the Magi.
"When they had heard the king they went their way; and lo, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy; and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh." ~~Matthew 2: 9-11
