Abstract

The article discusses the significance of January 6, known as the Feast of the Epiphany, which commemorates the visit of the Magi to Jesus, as described in the Gospel of Matthew. It explains that the term "epiphany" means manifestation, and the Magi, who were Zoroastrian priests from ancient Persia, represent an unexpected reverence towards a Jewish child. The narrative contrasts the Magi's openness with King Herod's violent reaction to their visit, highlighting themes of hospitality versus hostility towards outsiders. The article also draws parallels between the biblical story and contemporary American politics, suggesting that some Christians may resemble Herod in their treatment of migrants rather than embodying the spirit of the Magi.
