What a wonderful Legend! An apocryphal lost book recovered from the Vatican archives just in time for Christmas 2010!
This is the story of the Nativity, yet not told in the third person, rather in the first, from the point of view of the Magi themselves.
I will not go into the history of the book as the author does, but will cover some of the highlights. The Magi are not magicians from Persia, but are 'silent prayers', descended from Adam and Seth. Sprinkled with tantalizing theological tidbits (there is no original sin), the text summarizes the trek of the Magi from their 'country of the farthest East' to Jerusalem and on to Bethlehem. Christ is revealed to be pre-existent, as is the Nativity Star. I will not reveal the origin of the Star, but will leave it to the reader to discover for himself. But I will say this...what a fascinating read!
Much here to digest, as the story is written simply, yet covers much complex Truth
