Three Kings Day celebrated by Mustangs

By Angelina Vital Torres

Some of the students here at Waldo Middle School have celebrated the Three Wise Men and some of you students were wondering what they we’re talking about. Well I'm here to tell you all about it. This is a day that they say the Three Wise Men (a.k.a. kings) traveled all the way to Bethlehem to worship the new born baby named JESUS, and also to give him his gifts which were:

GOLD – as a symbol of being king to all people.
MYRRH – as a symbol as being our priest.
FRAKINCENSE – as a symbol of being our savior because he dies to save us all.
`
This is their story. It is said that the Three Wise Men traveled all the way to Bethlehem to worship Christ. Some maybe wondering how they knew where to go. They followed a star that is now called Star of Bethlehem which led them to him.

Before they got to him they were stopped by a king that wanted to know about the new king that was coming (Jesus Christ). His only interest was to find him was so his men could kill him; he did not want anyone taking his throne away. The Three Wise Men were invited to feast with the king. They couldn’t say no so they ate, but in their conversation they mentioned the new born baby to come.

The king had told the Three Wise Men to inform him where the baby would be so he could worship him as well. However, the Three Wise Men didn't tell him and they went a different way. After they had eaten they had found the star that led them to Bethlehem. On the 24th of December the star stood upon a cottage and at that point they knew that they had made it to the birth of the new king, Jesus.

As they approached him they got off of the animals that they were riding on (Camel, Elephant, and a Horse). They worshiped him and gave them his gifts. They left happy that they had the chance to witness our King, Priest, and Savior.

I hope all of the students that wondered about this celebration of the Three Wise Men learned what it’s all about. Thank you for reading this story and I hope that all that celebrated this event had a good time.
