An ers Are Many! Although St. Mathew did not use the name "Magi," he implied it when he wrote of "wise men," for "magi" was commonly used in Palestine to mean -great, illustrious." Today, Nativity scenes show three wise men or Magi present, at the manger along ith the shepherds, who hastened^ to Bethlehem on the night. Christ was born. Some historians, however,„ believe lhat the visit of the Magi didna take place until much later perhaps a year or even two years alter the birth of Christ: Three wise men? In New Testament stories of the Nativity, only St. Mat- thew tells of "wise men from the east" and how many wise men followed the star to the manger is not stated. The tradition that there were three probably comes from St. Matthew's descrip- tion of three gifts — gold, frankincense, and myrrh, Another explan,ation. for the number three is the•leg- end that the wise men sym- bolized all humanity, in turn represented by the races of Sheen, Ham and Japhet, ac- cording to the editors of The New Hook of Knowledge. Early traditions mention varying numbers of wise men. Twelve was the number traditional in the Eastern church, while in the West, mosaics and paintings show- ed sometimes two, sometimes three, four or more wise men. During the sixth century, -the idea that, there were three,:came to be generally accepted, In legend's, the wise men„,were given names: Mel, hior, Gasper, -Ball astir; WINSTON C.

KEATING'S PHARMACY M. E. HOOVER, Phm.B. ztaikaaaaaaatkrA How Many Holidays? Traditionally, Belgians cel- ebrate three holidays at the Christmas season,. — • begin- ning with St. Nicholas Day, December 6th, when the good saint brings gifts for chil- dren. • Then comes St. Thomas Day, December 21st. It's a sort of "trick or treat" day for school children, who try to play tricks on their teach- ers. The third holiday, Of course, is Christmas. • Wrapping Gifts When German tradition is followed, unwrapping a Christmas gift can be an amusing but complicated process. One gift may have many consecutive wrappings, each with a differeny,natne ion it, and the final ,Wittinifig may , reveal not a gift, but a card' telling where the gift is hid- den. Other cards in other hiding places lead to a treasure hunt, ending in the discov- ery of the, gift........ Baking Cakes If the weather on St. Nich- olas Day, December 6th, misty, a Dutch legend can explain it. St. Nicholas is baking his cakes. - Traditional cakes— Zelten or Klosse — are adorned with different figures. These, chil- dren are told, are the marks made by St. Nicholas' donkey as he steps over the cakes on his way through the mist. fiRtOS EFFECTIVE DEC' 22-27 INCLUSIVE MAXWELL HOUSE (Spec.
