bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those
transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the
world.” John Milton (1608-1674) <span></span></font></span></p>

having an epiphany, signifying a moment of sudden revelation or insight - an “Eureka
moment”. In Christian theology, epiphany emphasizes the inclusivity of the
Christ message extending to all of humanity.<span></span></font></span></p><p style="" class="yiv9925678824MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><font size="4"><br></font></span></p>

<p style="" class="yiv9925678824MsoNormal"><font size="4"><i><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">We were
surprised by the place</span></i><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><br>
<i>to which the star brought us</i><br>
<i>so little worthy of a king’s birth,</i><br>
<i>but our calculations left no doubt —</i><br>
<i>a stable redolent of hay and dung</i><br>
<i>inhabited by an ox and a donkey,</i><br>
<i>occasioned by lambs and kids.</i><br>
<i>The child, like all newborns</i><br>
<i>had nothing to distinguish him.</i><br>
<i>The little woman, like all good mothers</i><br>
<i>sweet and tender, the man no longer young</i><br>
<i>showed tenderness and solicitude;</i><br>
<i>they were even more surprised and perplexed</i><br>
<i>by our visit than we for being there.</i><br>
<i>We left the gifts we had brought from so far:</i><br>
<i>the little gold coffer chased</i><br>
<i>with lions and suns, the ivory box filled</i><br>
<i>with incense, the ebony urn filled with myrrh,</i><br>
<i>and we left in silence.</i><br>
<b><i>Finally the youngest of us murmured,</i></b><br>
<b><i> “Perhaps he brings
revolution.”</i></b><br>
<b><i>The other two kept in silence</i></b><br>
<b><i>the hope his saying awoke.</i></b><span></span></span></font></p>
