Merry Christmas --

 

Let us ponder on the story that 2014 years ago three wise-men from Iran set out on a journey  to Israel to herald  the dawn of  Peace;

For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.
