Tomorrow 6th January is Epiphany, the 12th day after Christmas Day (all Xmas decorations must be removed and put away). The feast day celebrates the Three Kings visit to Baby Jesus. However, did you know that there were originaly six kings not 3? Only three reached Bethlehem. The 4th went to the USA, the 5th to China and the 6th to the Philippines. Their names were BURGER KING, CHOWKING & TAPA KING, respectively. 😉
This witty observation was made by Fr Bel.R. San Luis, SVD introducing the true meaning of tomorrow’s important date in the Christian calendar. But his funny comment does reflect todays age of all powerful consumerism dominating our lives with competing service between God and Mammon.
