Its hero is Artaban, a Persian magi or wiseman, whose reading of the stars persuades him that a new king is being born in Jerusalem. Selling his possessions, Artaban sets out with his slave Orontes to join the three other magi who are also making the trip. But because he stops to help others along the way, Artaban never catches up with the other wise men. He spends the next 33 years ministering to the poor, finally discovering his ''King'' hanging on a cross like a common criminal.</I><BR/><BR/>Nice pictures, Jeff. That top one looks a little scary - makes me think of the dark riders of LOTR meeting Dune :-)crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681674503952991492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26437387.post-1751402986333123422007-12-20T13:12:00.000-05:002007-12-20T13:12:00.000-05:00Driving me nuts.

It followed the legend of him, that through a series of misadventures, he winds up giving away all the treasures he had for the Christ child, but winds up finally meeting Jesus during the Crucifixion.Garpuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460312942820868366noreply@blogger.com
