As they were there, they were
approached by an old man, who was
known to be always watching and praying
for the coming of the Messiah. The old man whose name was
Simeon, took baby
Jesus in his arms. As he looked at the
baby’s face he knew at once that his
prayers were answered. He said, “Oh
Lord, my eyes have seen your salvation”.
A few months later, three old men came
to Jerusalem with their servants. The old
men were asking, “Where is he who was
born King of the Jews, for we have seen
his star in the East and have come here to
worship him “. Herod the king of Judea was troubled by these
events and brought
the three wise men to his palace. He
asked them about the star the have seen
and about the King they were looking
for. The three wise men who spent many
years studying the stars explained to King Herod about the star
which they saw, and
that it means the birth of the King of the
Jews. birth of Jesus Christ - picture King Herod ordered the
three old men to
go to Bethlehem and bring him baby
Jesus, King of the Jews. “Go to Bethlehem
and bring me the child so that I can also
worship him”. King Herod’s intention was
however not to worship but to kill baby Jesus. The three men
went to Bethlehem
and found baby Jesus. They kneeled
before the child and offered gifts to him.

back to Jerusalem because god warned
them in a dream about king Herod’s bad intention. King Herod

Joseph in a dream that night and told him
to take Mary and the child to Egypt where
