[Magdalen] Epiphany

[Cantor03 at aol.com]

I've always found it a bit odd that we do not name our parish
churches more frequently after the Three Kings.
 
OTOH, it has always sounded a bit better in German:   Dreikonigskirche.
 
Such was the dedication of the Evangelische parish in the  Sachsenhausen
section (across the Main) of Frankfurt/M, Germany.  This is where  the
famous blind organist, Helmut Walcha, played Lutheran Vespers every
Saturday night.

Then there is the Shrine of the Three Magi by Nicholas of Verdun  located
just behind the high altar of Cologne Cathedral:
