Our sister parish, St. Ann in Santee has been closed due to a few cases of Covid 19. We pray for those infected, that the virus will not spread to any other parish and family members and we pray that the church will be able to reopen soon. This situation is a strong reminder that we need to continue to wear our masks and follow the social distancing guidelines at OLOH and St. Mary's so that we can remain open.

Reflection
The Epiphany Of the Lord
PoinsettiasBy Parish Members
Not much information is given in Scripture about “the magi from the east.” Traditionally it has been held that there were three wise men, having the names Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar. It is most likely that they came from Persia, an empire to the east. Furthermore, the term “magi” could refer to priests, sages, or even astrologers. This last option seems plausible due to their interest in a special star. This “star” could be explained by a natural phenomenon such as a comet, the alignment of planets, or a nova (all of which were recorded near the time of Jesus’ birth). However, it also could be supernatural such as, for example, an angel appearing as a bright star to guide the magi. Regardless, it is clear that God used the “star” to make evident the greatness of the event of Jesus’ birth. It was common in the ancient world to view a special star as a signal of the birth of a king, so it makes sense that the magi were looking for the “king of the Jews.” The news of Jesus’ birth troubled Herod the Great because he was the king of the Jews, appointed as such by Rome. Herod was a power hungry ruler who had no problem axing anyone who threatened his rule. The news from the magi came as a threat to his power and thus he deceptively sent them to find Jesus’ location in order to kill him. Yet, the magi went to worship him. The fact that Gentiles (i.e. non-Jews) came to worship the Messiah is evidence that Jesus came for all of humanity. The expensive gifts of gold, frankincense (a perfumed incense used in worship), and myrrh (an anointing oil used as a burial ointment) were only fit for a king. They indicate that Jesus is not just the king of the Jews but the king of all humanity. He is Emmanuel (“God with us”). The magi’s return “by another way” symbolically represents that whenever we encounter Jesus, we will never return the same.
We wish everyone a Happy
and Healthy
New Year
