People of African descent lived in medieval Europe, and Europeans were aware of the power of contemporary kingdoms in Africa. This shaped the way that people from African were depicted in the art and literature of medieval Europe in different ways. Dr. Chrissie Senecal, Associate Professor at Shippensburg University, shared about their presence during that era. “it's really an erroneous idea that people of color actually of African descent were not present in Western Europe. Just a big example is that obviously Spain is in Western Europe. Spain had been conquered in the early medieval period by people from North Africa that were Muslim and had set up an incredibly vibrant culture, like the biggest city of medieval Europe was Cordoba. So that's a whole bunch of people. There were also constant exchanges with people in the Mediterranean. So, for example, the Kingdom of Ethiopia was known to be Christian, and they had an embassy in Rome. Moreover, there's a lot of contact with the Eastern Mediterranean through the Crusades. And that was a kind of melting pot in some ways of different cultures. The island of Sicily is also a place where many, many people of African descent existed.” Figures like Balthazar, one of the Three Wise Men, were depicted with African features in medieval art. According to Dr. Senecal, Balthazar is a really fascinating character in medieval art. “So, in the new test, obviously, we know medieval Europe, predominantly Christian, although there's many, many Muslims in Spain and there's a large Jewish population as well. But most people identified as Christian outside of Spain. And in the medieval period, there began to be legends attached to the Gospel of Matthew about the three wise men that went to visit Jesus. So that gospel actually doesn't say there were three. It becomes thought of as three wise men representing a king, sort of mage from Europe, from Asia, from Africa. And so Balthazar is considered to be from Africa. But here's where we get into, like, you know, descendant of Africa versus black, because in the first renditions of Balthazar in medieval art, like in the 11th century, Balthazar is depicted as with white skin. And it isn't until the 1400s that he's shown with black skin, even though he was considered to be from Africa. And some of the most beautiful paintings of the wise men come from the 1400s. And you see images of Balthazar wearing this incredibly beautiful clothing, sumptuous fabric. And, you know, he carries myrrh along with the other wise men carrying the other gifts. And it's really incredible. There's a kind of middle transition period. Like in the 1300s, we have an image of Balthazar and he has white skin, but he has a servant accompanying him. And that servant has black skin. So it's a pretty fascinating trajectory.”Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Transcript:Ca: L'aire fred de l'hivern envoltava Barcelona mentre els carrers s'omplien de visitants per la Cimera Internacional.En: The cold winter air enveloped Barcelona as the streets filled with visitors for the International Summit.Ca: Dins del gran edifici de vidre i acer, estudiants de tot el món estaven ocupats preparant-se per al concurs de presentacions.En: Inside the large glass and steel building, students from all over the world were busy preparing for the presentation contest.Ca: El lloc estava ple d'energia, i entre ells hi havia en Marcel, amb els ulls brillants però la ment carregada de dubtes.En: The place was full of energy, and among them was Marcel, with bright eyes but a mind full of doubts.Ca: En Marcel era un noi diligent però sovint es veia superat pels seus companys més segurs.En: Marcel was a diligent boy but often found himself overshadowed by his more confident peers.Ca: A mesura que s'apropava el concurs escolar, la pressió crescava dins seu.En: As the school contest approached, the pressure grew within him.Ca: Desitjava tant demostrar les seves capacitats.En: He so wished to demonstrate his abilities.Ca: El seu rival era en Pau, un company de classe que sempre semblava saber què dir i com fer-ho sense esforç.En: His rival was Pau, a classmate who always seemed to know what to say and how to handle things effortlessly.Ca: Amb un sospir pesant, en Marcel va buscar l'ajuda de la seva amiga Júlia, un esperit alegre que sempre havia estat al seu costat.En: With a heavy sigh, Marcel sought help from his friend Júlia, a cheerful spirit who had always been by his side.Ca: Un dia, mentre el vent fred bufava pels carrers, es van trobar al cafè local.En: One day, as the cold wind blew through the streets, they met at the local café.Ca: "Necessito pràctica," va dir en Marcel amb fermesa.En: "I need practice," Marcel said firmly.Ca: "Em vaig posar molt nerviós davant de gent.En: "I get very nervous in front of people."Ca: "La Júlia va somriure amb comprensió.En: Júlia smiled with understanding.Ca: "Podem fer això junts," va dir.En: "We can do this together," she said.Ca: Així, dia rere dia, van assajar al saló de l'escola, davant de petits grups d'amics.En: So, day after day, they rehearsed in the school hall, in front of small groups of friends.Ca: La Júlia li ensenyava tècniques per mantenir la calma, recordant-li respirar profundament i concentrar-se en el missatge, no en les cares que el miraven.En: Júlia taught him techniques to stay calm, reminding him to breathe deeply and focus on the message, not on the faces watching him.Ca: La vigília del concurs, la ciutat encara lluïa restes de decoracions de l'Epifania: llums daurades i figuretes dels Reis Mags decoraven els balcons.En: On the eve of the contest, the city still shone with remnants of Epiphany decorations: golden lights and figures of the Three Wise Men adorned the balconies.Ca: En Marcel es va adonar que, com les festes passades, ell també podia deixar enrere les seves pors.En: Marcel realized that, like past festivities, he too could leave his fears behind.Ca: El matí del concurs, la sala estava plena de veus emocionades.En: The morning of the contest, the room was full of excited voices.Ca: Quan va arribar el torn d'en Marcel, el silenci va caure bruscament.En: When Marcel's turn came, silence fell abruptly.Ca: Caminà cap a l'escenari amb el cor bategant ràpidament dins el pit.En: He walked to the stage with his heart pounding rapidly in his chest.Ca: Les seves mans tremolaven, però va recordar les paraules de la Júlia: "Confia en tu mateix.En: His hands trembled, but he remembered Júlia's words: "Trust yourself."Ca: "Es va aturar al centre de l'escenari.En: He stopped at the center of the stage.Ca: Una pausa, un sospir profund.En: A pause, a deep breath.Ca: El pànic amenaçava amb apoderar-se d'ell, però en aquell moment, va mirar cap a la multitud i va veure-la, somrient amb confiança des de lluny.En: Panic threatened to take over, but at that moment, he looked towards the crowd and saw her, smiling confidently from afar.Ca: Amb un impuls, va iniciar la seva presentació.En: With a surge, he began his presentation.Ca: Va començar amb vacil·lació, però les paraules van fluir amb més fluïdesa mentre es concentrava.En: He started with hesitation, but the words flowed more smoothly as he concentrated.Ca: El seu discurs es va convertir en una història, captivant l'audiència.En: His speech turned into a story, captivating the audience.Ca: Quan va acabar, un llarg aplaudiment va omplir l'espai.En: When he finished, a long applause filled the space.Ca: En Marcel va sentir quelcom nou: confiança.En: Marcel felt something new: confidence.Ca: Havia fet el que pensava impossible.En: He had done what he thought was impossible.Ca: En Pau, a la llunyania, va somriure amb respecte.En: Pau, from afar, smiled with respect.Ca: En Marcel havia guanyat alguna cosa més que el reconeixement: havia descobert la seva pròpia força.En: Marcel had gained more than recognition: he had discovered his own strength.Ca: La Cimera Internacional va acabar amb èxit, amb en Marcel enriquit per l'experiència.En: The International Summit ended successfully, with Marcel enriched by the experience.Ca: Va aprendre que buscar ajuda i enfrontar-se a les seves pors eren les claus per créixer.En: He learned that seeking help and facing his fears were the keys to growth.Ca: I mentre les llums del vespre es reflectien als carrers freds de Barcelona, va caminar cap a casa amb el cap ben alt, sabent que tot havia canviat per a ell.En: And as the evening lights reflected on the cold streets of Barcelona, he walked home with his head held high, knowing that everything had changed for him.

The three wise men, the three kings, the three magi – whichever appellation they are known by – remain a fixture of Christmastime.

Ever notice how everyone picks the same predictable words for their New Year - peace, joy, freedom? What if your 2025 word of the year could be something totally unexpected that lights up everyone's face when you share it?   2025: The Year of Captivation Yep, that's MY word this year.   2025 is not just another year—it's the year of captivation for me. In the past, my time has been driven by business goals, from client acquisition to serving a growing audience predominantly of mothers. This year, however, my focus is on discovering and pursuing what truly captivates me—my word of the year.   ---   **Captivation: Inspired by Family and Stories**   Reflecting on memorable moments of captivation, I am reminded of summers spent with my grandmothers in Miami and Puerto Rico. My Cuban grandmother and her family were expert storytellers, captivating me with tales from their lives and adventures. These moments instilled in me a love for storytelling and a fascination with human expression.   ---   **Choosing a Word of the Year: A Journey of Self-Discovery**   I invite you to join me on this journey of selecting a word of the year—a concept popularized by Danielle Laporte in her work on desire mapping. Find a word that resonates deeply, one that isn't commonly chosen but is authentic to the sensation you aim to experience. Whether it's a bold choice like "captivating" or something uniquely personal, let it guide your experiences and interactions.   ---   **Practice Captivation in Everyday Life**   Achieving a sense of captivation doesn't necessarily require grand gestures; it can be found in simple, everyday experiences. Whether it's listening intently to your child's story or discovering a new passion, these moments hold the potential to enrich our lives profoundly.   ---   **Conclusion: A Year of Unforeseen Opportunities**   As we traverse 2025, I aim to provide you with content that not only captivates but also adds value to your life. This year will be marked by transformative changes in how I approach my business and personal life, integrating my newly acquired skills as a meditation practitioner.   Let's explore how we can make this year uniquely ours. I encourage you, my listeners, to think expansively, embrace words that are different, and stand unafraid in your journey.   Happy New Year! While we're at it, why not make it official?

It is Melissa, your host of the Mom Founder Imagination Hub podcast.  Wow, like what was that? Seriously, it's so funny. I just returned from a trip to the colonies, as I like to refer the states that I have a lot of family in. So we went to New York, we went to New Jersey and we went to Connecticut. Yeah. And I will say that the experience was a bit of a whirlwind, but it ended with just like feeling really, really sick. And so I'm on the mend, definitely feeling very, very. alive and excited and pumped about 2025. This morning, I already went to the gym. I did my 10, 000 steps, went to the groceries, did some laundry part two. I mean, it's been a productive set of hours on this feast of the epiphany Three Wise Men Day. I even put incense with the scent of myrrh for the occasion of the Three Wise Men. You remember? What did they give baby Jesus? Frankincense, myrrh, and gold. So I would say, you know, it's been a really interesting start to the new year.  And in this unedited episode, you thoroughly hear that I still have the remnants of a, a bad set of bacteria, virus,  But notwithstanding, I feel good. I feel good about 2025. And the reason why I do is because it's going to be different than years past. Years past have been really dictated by business initiatives, figuring out what needs to happen in order to bring in new clients, in order to better serve, You know, a brand new target audience being you a mom and also, you know, just a lot of novelty when it comes to the different ways that people approach, you know, lead generation and all that businessy stuff. And so this year is going to be a little bit different.  It's really going to be about figuring out what.  exactly captivates me. That is the word for me of 2025. And as I tell individuals, my word, I am met with this whole idea of, wow, that's crazy, but like in a good way, because it's definitely a very high vibe word, captivating, captivate to captivate.  I put a lot of thought into it.  And just to kind of share a story of those moments when I have been the most captivated, I remember every single summer I would spend a month in Miami and a month in Puerto Rico with my respective grandmothers. And my Cuban grandmother on one hand was A really good storyteller, as was my entire family from a paternal perspective. And I would say that they really got into storytelling. So let's imagine they got home from work and they all worked in the police department and they had these amazing stories. Whether it was, you know, about criminals or if it was about, I don't even know, a salsero that they would have invited to like a Christmas party. I mean, a lot of my memories are a little bit of a Patchwork quilt, should I say?  Point of the matter, they would use their body to really express themselves. They would stand up in the middle of the living room to absolutely, you know, be on stage, quote unquote.  And I felt captivated,  completely engrossed in what they were saying. And I'm pretty sure I had no idea what they were really, really saying. Because I was a little girl, but I was always really intrigued by the way they express themselves and the stories they would tell. And that's why for me, that is the word that popped up, captivating to captivate. And when I started looking up what it meant, it also had this idea that there has to be a willingness.  be captivated. So as I think through this word of the year for myself, I invite you to think beyond some of the words that are in the atmosphere in your local area. Or wherever it is that you might reside. So, for example, if in your community you might hear words like, Oh, freedom, or peace, or contentment, or words like joy. Why not consider a word like, that is totally left field, but really nails the sensation you're going for. And then in the same way that the person who wrote this book about desire mapping, Danielle Laporte says, she basically said, you know, once you have your word or set of words, it's really about figuring out. a myriad of ways that you can feel that sensation. So if I want to feel engrossed, plugged in or captivated, it's not just like going to great adventure and, you know, going on a roller coaster and maybe I am totally captivated by an amazing ride. It can be something as so simple, so sweet as paying close attention to a little story that a son of mine has, you know, whether it was something that he caught in school or something that he just wants to share with me or retell from a story he has read. So for me, captivating has range. What about you? I would invite you to really think through.  what you desire to feel in 2025. For me, as I mentioned, it was being captivated or captivating or captivate people. Because again, if you want a certain feeling, it really behooves you to emit that feeling yourself. So that also implies I have to be captivating. And So there we go. So for you really think that through, think through right now, maybe write it down at some point, a couple of words that really, really ignite something inside of you, something that might be, um, a little sleepy right now. It might be a little bit kind of, you know, not used. Just think of a word that you want to draw attention to in your life. And funny enough, When I chose that word, which is not the most common word I've seen, I started, of course, seeing that word, which has an actual scientific principle attached to it. Kind of like when you buy a particular car, you start to notice all those cars. So,  Happy New Year. I'm thrilled that this podcast lives on. I'm thrilled that I had the opportunity to share with you my 2025 word, and I really endeavor to captivate you, captivate you in a way that makes you feel better. After listening to every single episode, and I really do invite you and hope that you can be very patient with me because this is a year of change when it comes to the way I go about, you know, sharing my gifts and talents. This is also going to be a year of change in terms of how I think about my business and my role and how I decide to you. You know, bring forth everything that I've learned, even new things. I just became a meditation practitioner. It's like official now I'm done with the program. So there'll be a lot of unexpected conversations, but also my ambition is really to make sure that you get value out of each and every single one of them. So in this one, I invite you to think about a word of the year, and I invite you to definitely consider how you might make it. different or set yourself apart from those that are in your area. It might really inspire other people to think more expansively about their own lives and their own experiences. Because every single person I've told this word to, captivating and captivated, like, It just brought a huge smile on their face and they really loved that word. They're like, I have never heard someone use that word in terms of the word of the year for them. And of course I say, I know you haven't because I really like using words that are different. That captivates me, right? It holds my interest. being a little different and, um, unexpected and be unafraid to do either. Okay. Happy new year until next Tuesday. And if we are not official yet, like if you haven't hit follow or subscribe, I invite you to go ahead and do that. Go ahead and do that. And if you want to send me a little note, I will put it in the show notes. Tell me that you actually subscribed or followed me. And. And I'll tell you a captivating story in exchange, I will email you. So you'll see my email in the show notes, have an amazing rest of your week. Thank you again for listening.

In today's Gospel story we heard the story of the Magi, or the Three Kings or Three Wisemen. We know very little about these three Magi, and I mean very little. The Church of England commissioned a report about twenty years ago, and it concluded we know so little about them that we don't even know if there were three of them. We don't know if they were kings. We don't know if they were wise. We don't even know that they were men. We know almost nothing about these folks. What do we know about them?

Were the Wise Men late to the party? We often see the Three Wise Men in nativity scenes but did you know they didn't actually show up until a year later? In today's sermon, on the twelfth day of Christmas, we wrap up the Christmas story by looking at the arrival of the Wise Men from the Far East and the significance of the gifts of the Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh that they brought. See how their visit was perfectly orchestrated in God's plan. Scripture List: Matthew 2.1-12

The story of the Three Wise Men has been reinterpreted since it was first written down. The gift-bearing visitors to the newborn Jesus were initially described as “Magi”, meaning Persians of a priestly caste, but by the 4th century they were given the individual names of Gaspar, Melchior and Balthazar. And in Medieval Europe they were described not as Three Wise Men, but as Three Kings. Yet there's more to the evolution of the Magi than Western ideas, in Syriac Christian traditions there are up to 24 Magi, and in the Ethiopian church they are named Hor, Karsudan, and Basanater. So how have these ideas developed over time? Listen as William and Anita are again joined by Professor Lloyd Lewellyn-Jones to discuss the evolution of the story of the Magi, and the influence of British imperialism on their symbolism… Twitter: @Empirepoduk Email: empirepoduk@gmail.com Goalhangerpodcasts.com Assistant Producers: Anouska Lewis  Producer: Callum Hill Exec Producer: Neil Fearn Learn more about your ad choices.

The truth behind the story of the Three Wise Men has more connections to empire than many of us realise… Featured in every Nativity scene in school plays, churches, and art around the world, the Three Wise Men are key characters in the Christmas story. They are only mentioned once in the Bible, appearing in Matthew's gospel described as the Magi - meaning Persians of a priestly caste from Persia. But who were they? Where were they from? And what was the meaning behind their gifts? Listen as Anita and William are joined by Professor Lloyd Lewellyn-Jones to discuss how the story of the Magi highlights the intermingling of Persian and Jewish culture at the time, as well as tensions between two great empires: the Parthians and Rome… Twitter: @Empirepoduk Email: empirepoduk@gmail.com Goalhangerpodcasts.com Assistant Producers: Anouska Lewis & Becki Hills Producer: Callum Hill Exec Producer: Neil Fearn Learn more about your ad choices.

This is Pastor Tom Arnould welcoming you to the Good News Radio Broadcast. My wife Sharon and I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas. On today's program I will be sharing a message that focuses upon the Wise Men that came from the east to worship our Lord. Their passion to seek after Christ is a great example for all of humanity. Join me for the message "In Search of Christ."

Three Christmas Gifts Today, Pastor Michael is continuing the story of the Three Wise Men. At this point in the story, they have found Jesus and begun worshiping him. He is no longer at the stable where he was born, the Wise Men finding him in a house. They came with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.   Gold is a tribute paid to kings.  It represents royalty.  The gift of gold is the promise of a great king.  Frankincense is a resin that comes from a rare tree in the Middle East. The gift of frankincense points to Jesus as a priest.  Lastly, myrrh is another resin primarily used in funerals to anoint bodies.  Myrrh represents the gift of Jesus as savior. Jesus is gold, our frankincense, and the gift of myrrh, the gifts of the Magi.  They remind us that “Jesus is the king who leads us, the priest who connects us to God and the savior who gave his life for us”; the heart of today's message.  Today's verses can be found in Matthew 2: 11. Scripture quotations marked CSB have been taken from the Christian Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers. Used by permission.

Peace for the Restless Heart Today, Pastor Michael is looking at the Three Wise Men looking for Jesus at His birth. The wise men, the magi, were coming from Persia.  They arrive in Jerusalem, asking where is the King of the Jews that was just born.  However, the message had not spread at this point, so most simply didn't know.  They followed the star to Bethlehem and found Jesus and worshipped Him.  What did the Magi need that they didn't have?  Peace.  After years of studying and research, they found the peace they needed in Jesus. Today's core idea is “Restless Hearts Find Peace in Jesus”. (CSB Bible Notes) In contrast to the stable in which Jesus was born (Lk 2), Jesus's family now lived in a house. This shows that the magi visited Jesus after the visit of the shepherds described by Luke. The magi worshiped Jesus openly, as did many other people during his lifetime (8:2; 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 20:20; 28:9,17). Jesus's reception of worship reinforces his identity as Immanuel, “God is with us” Today's verses can be found in Matthew 2: 1 - 12. Scripture quotations marked CSB have been taken from the Christian Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers. Used by permission. Christian Standard Bible® and CSB® are federally registered trademarks of Holman Bible Publishers.

In this message, Pastor Eric unpacks the messy, unexpected realities of the nativity story, exploring how Jesus entered a broken world filled with scandal, power struggles, and irony. By focusing on the Magi, he reveals how those least qualified were invited to worship the King, while those most comfortable were disturbed. This episode challenges us to trust Jesus, let go of what holds us back, and embrace the good news of Christmas.

Obviously we had to watch the sequel to one of our favorites, Three Wise Men and a Baby, and to our delight, Three Wiser Men and a Boy really delivered.

My special guest tonight is Dr. Stephen Flowers who's here to discuss the history of Mazdan magic from his book called   Original Magic: The Rituals and Initiations of the Persian Magi   A complete guide to the theory, practice, and history of Mazdan magic, the first organized system of magic   • Provides a complete curriculum of magical study and initiation centered on exercises keyed to the sacred Zoroastrian calendar   • Details advanced magical rituals and practices based on archaic Persian formulas, including fire rituals and divine invocations   • Explores the history and lore of Persian magic, explaining how the author reconstructed the original Mazdan system of magic   Stephen Flowers explores the history, theory, practice, rituals, and initiations of the Mazdan magical system practiced by the Magi of ancient Persia, who were so skilled and famed for their effectiveness that their name came to mean what we today call “magic.” The prestige and reputation of the Magian priests of Mazda is perhaps most iconically recorded in the Christian story of the Three Wise Men who visited newborn Jesus.   The author explains how the religious branch of the Mazdan magical system, founded by the Prophet Zarathustra, is known in the West under the name Zoroastrianism. He reveals how the Zoroastrian religion, which acts as a matrix for the symbols and formulas of the original form of magic, has existed for almost four thousand years with roots going back even deeper into the Indo-European past. The author reveals how all other known systems of magic have borrowed from this tradition, providing the clues that enabled him to reformulate the original Mazdan system. He reviews what the Greeks, Romans, Hebrews, Christians, and Chinese said about the Iranian-Persian tradition of the Mazdans and their invention of a magical technology. He explains how the ultimate aim of the original form of magic was not only individual wisdom, self-development, and empowerment, but also the overall betterment of the world.   Outlining the theoretical principles of this method, which can be applied in practical ways to deepen the effectiveness of these magical operations, the author details a complete curriculum of magical study and initiation based on a series of graded exercises keyed to the sacred Zoroastrian calendar. He then offers a series of more advanced magical rituals and practices based on archaic Persian formulas, including fire rituals and divine invocations. Providing a manual for the original magical system used by the members of the Great Fellowship, this book guides you toward the comprehensive practice of the Mazdan philosophy, the ultimate outcome of which is ushta: Happiness.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]
