Fridays are "weekly beauty" day, but I'm getting this one in under the wire while it's actually still Epiphany. This festival commemorates the visit of the magi to Jesus, and is also associated with the wedding at Cana and Jesus' baptism by John (both of which point to the beginning of Jesus' public ministry).
This year I celebrated with Evening Prayer at First Lutheran. Last year my friend Rachel and I were herding our preschool "sheep" during the Sunday school Epiphany pageant (which replaces a Christmas pageant) at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection. They missed their big entrance and arrival at the manger because they all needed a bathroom break, so they straggled in during the next song. So it goes.
So, for your weekly beauty: a beautiful icon of the magi and a medley of "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" and "We Three Kings" by the Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan, which I have probably listened to 3,196 times over the last several weeks.
