"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem . . . Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw His star and have come to worship Him.
They went on their way, and the star they had seen went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed!
On coming to the house, they saw the child and they bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh." (processional music ends)
