Reverend Taylor, People Look East

Christmas is a point of contact and sharing between cultures and traditions, past and present. We see this sharing not only in the practices of Yule but in the story of the Magi, a rare positive encounter in the Bible between people of different faiths. In this advent season, filled with the symbolism of dark-ness and light, we honor their prophet, Zarathus-tra, and his lasting influence on Jewish and Chris-tian world views.
