Some excellent images of the magi from both you & @Pythika this morning. Thank you!
Such a rich collection of possible images to choose from! :)
I love this one - such snazzy leggings :-)
Indeed! :)
Phrygian headwear?
Nifty tights
Love those Phrygian caps! Makes them all look like Mithras.
It’s my recollection that only Matthew’s Gospel mentions that Magi and doesn’t specify how many there were.
