[Magdalen] Epiphany

[Marion Thompson]

I celebrated the Eve of the Epiphany at the home of friends.  Carols of 
all kinds from all over played quietly all evening.  I brought 
Frankincense, which we burned.  Candles burned everywhere.  We brought 
the wisemen to the creche and said prayers.  There were little gifties 
under the tree for me and between them.  We enjoyed good fellowship.  
Christmastide continues in that house and it was/is lovely.

Marion, a pilgrim   ... today my sail I lift ....
