Christmas is coming. The world welcomes the birth of a great God, Jesus Christ.
He was sent down to the world to use himself to preserve the traits that guide people to live morally and spiritually.
For 33 years, Jesus has done many strange things.
At the end of his life, he was betrayed by Judah, tortured and humiliated.
In the end, he was crucified on the cross.
There are people who worship him.
He is so powerful. Why is he still confined to the cross?
The answer is that he saved people with love.
The birth of Jesus is for people to come.
That's why Christmas has become a very special day.
Eric Best, a renowned artist and researcher at the Institute of Archaeological Sciences,
has explained the meaning of the book The Adoration of the Magi.
The adoration of the magi is drawn by the artist Jean Gossard,
to remind us why Christmas is so special.

In Matthew 2, which is written in the Bible,
there is a description of the story of the three prophets who came from the east,
led by a star, to meet the new-born Jesus.
On the way, the three prophets asked all over the place about the adoration of the newborns,
who were made kings by the angels. They wanted to be stepped on as a sacrifice.
The news reached King Herod. He was worried about his power and was threatened.
So he gathered all the ministers and priests to ask where Jesus was born.
They told the king that according to the prophecy, Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
After hearing this, King Herod sent the three prophets to Bethlehem to look for that baby boy.
He lied that he wanted to go to the baby boy's funeral.
So the three prophets ordered King Herod to set out.
After leaving the king's house, the three prophets were led by a star.
They were very happy and excited.
The star led them to the place where Jesus was.
They saw the mother of Mary and Jesus kneeling in front of the altar.
Then they offered three gifts for the day.
A golden bowl, incense, and a piece of wood.
After congratulating Jesus on Christmas,
the three prophets had a strange dream that night.
They were warned not to return to King Herod.
When they woke up, they followed another path home.
The husband of the mother of Mary, Joseph, was also warned in a dream
to follow Jesus and flee to Egypt until King Herod died.
Knowing that the three prophets would not return, King Herod was angry.
He ordered to kill all the newborn babies in Bethlehem.
It caused great suffering for the husband until he died.
After the death of King Herod,
following the advice of an angel and the warning of God,
Joseph and his family came to Nazareth and lived there.
In the picture, the image of the mother of Mary and Jesus is the center of the picture.
The mother of Mary is sitting in the middle of what seems to be the ruins of a beautiful past.
In the distance is a large town with the dead.
At that time, the mother of Mary was wearing a blue robe,
and in front of her was one of the three Casper family.
The giver of the gift was a golden coin in a golden cup for Jesus.
Jesus looked at Casper and picked up one of the coins with his left hand.
Casper fell to his death.
On the lid of the cup, which was placed under the ground,
was engraved the name of Casper in gold and was decorated with kung fu.
The second family, Melchior,
stood behind Casper with his followers.
Melchior was waiting to give the gift,
which was incense kept in a golden cup that he held in his hand.
The third family, Peltaser,
on the left side of the mother of Mary and Jesus.
Peltaser was also surrounded by followers.
His hat had his name, Paltaser,
and the artist's name, Gosset.
He held in his hand a golden cup containing the gift,
which was a coconut, waiting for people to come to the temple.
On the top of the crown, the name Peltaser was written in kung fu gold with a red background.
The word Gosset was also decorated with gold on a red cloth,
hanging loosely under the crown.
Peltaser also had a crown,
engraved with the opening words of the prayer to the Virgin Mary,
Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Virgin.
The statue of Jesus in a red robe,
stood behind the mother of Mary and Peltaser.
Jesus was looking up at the nine angels,
flying high above.
The nine angels could be a representation of the nine commandments of the angels.
All the angels, except one, were holding hands,
as if they were praying to honor this divine event.
One angel did not hold hands,
but instead, he held a scroll with the words,
the highest glory of God.
In the distance, in the center of the top of the crown,
was a bright star and a bird.
The star could be a representation of God,
or it was the star that led the believers to Jesus.
The bird often symbolized God.
Peltaser did a great job,
when he put a lot of scenes into this painting.
He successfully described a story that was happening,
with only one image.
Peltaser described the mother of Mary and Jesus,
sitting in the middle of a pile of rubble,
with the background of a large town.
Could this desolate city be a representation of the moral law of the Old Testament,
the law that Jesus passed through his heart, mind, and actions?
Is this the reason why there are so many orphans in the background of a beautiful city?
If so, could the beautiful city be a representation of heaven?
Or could the orphans leave the city,
so that they can witness this divine event?
The three peltasers brought their gifts,
to commemorate the birthday of Jesus.
The golden peltaser symbolized the sacrifice,
and the metal peltas were used to bury the dead,
to symbolize the suffering of mankind.
These were the representations of Jesus,
the Son of God, and the Son of Man.
Peltaser looked up at the heavens,
as if he was receiving a message from the angels,
to take Jesus out of this place,
to avoid the dangers of King Herod.
However, the most amazing thing in the picture,
is that when Jesus was born,
people from all over the world came to witness this divine event,
and to express their admiration.
Even the whole heaven was witnessing it.
If the angels were to represent the moral law of the angels,
it would include all the help of God on heaven.
The peltas that symbolized God,
the Holy Spirit, and the stars,
could symbolize God.
Everything stopped to witness this divine event.
For the Westerners,
Christmas and New Year are long and important holidays in the year.
People often spend time with their families,
shopping for gifts and traditional games.
Some families still keep the tradition of praying on Christmas Eve,
but perhaps, above all,
we should remember that
at that time, it is also for people to praise the divinity of God and the saints.
If we are deep enough,
we will realize the true meaning of Christmas,
not only in the gifts that we cannot bring with us when we die.
We just need to stop and spend a little time for our heart and mind.
We will see the divinity always present among us on earth,
and sometimes in places that we do not expect.
If we understand this,
perhaps our mind will be calm,
our expectations of others will be reduced,
and our hearts will be filled with good will and joy.
Always remember that the divinity will always be presented to those who have virtue.
The great saints are always attentive,
watching over us,
hoping that we will be spiritual,
good, and virtuous
to return to the most sacred world of each person.
Finally, I would like to wish all of you
to keep your virtue with God
and make it shine.
I wish you all a peaceful, happy, and peaceful Christmas.
