The Magi Journeying, by James Tissot

Traveling far and for many months

To a foreign land

To seek a king

Whose sign is in the sky

++++++++++

Traveling across the desert

Leaving the comforts of home behind

To embark on a sacred quest

And a storied journey

++++++++++

Traveling abroad

At great physical risk

To visit a young king

And present him gifts
