Notes: |
A crowd is marching; but three in particular are shown in this colour picture, moving towards a bright star. One is riding a richly decorated camel. The Gospels do not in fact say there were Three Kings: they say neither how many there were nor that they were kings, but in fact say only that there were wise men (or astronomers, or astrologers) who gave three gifts. The colour registration is poor on this print. |
