Hello StoryMakers!
You are invited to go on a great adventure with the Magi (a.k.a. The Wisemen) to find the New King and discover what Epiphany is all about. Our story follows the journey of the Magi, who will travel from the Far East on camels all the way to Judea, where they will discover the new king. Here is what you will need for the journey: a road map, your puppets, fun-facts, art tools, and most importantly, your imagination.
Let’s get started!!!
P.S. Take note of these fun-facts so you know what to look for along your journey.

Epiphany celebrates light shining through the darkness of this world. Just as the bright star shines through for the Magi to follow, Jesus is the light of the world. He brings hope that shines through to every nation.
The Magi were stargazers, otherwise known as astrologers, not the kind of people you would think God would invite over for a dinner party.
Frankincense is a valuable kind of incense. When frankincense burns, it releases a strong smell, kind of like the when you light a scented candle.
Gold is a precious metal that is worth a lot! Did you know that frankincense, gold, and myrrh areall connect to Jesus? Frankincense is a precious gift, just like Jesus gave us the greatest gift on the cross. Gold represents royalty because Jesus is King of Kings. Myrrh connects with Jesus in the tomb. Oils like this were used in the burial process.
Myrrh is a very fancy perfume or anointing oil.

Arise, shine, for your light has come,and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,and thick darkness the peoples;but the Lord will arise upon you,and his glory will be seen upon you.And nations shall come to your light,and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Isaiah 60:1-3
“Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
Matthew 2
