MM 151- FOUND Jesus in the manger

MY ENTRY FOR MONOMONDAY - "FOUND"  Stories from Luke 2:8-16 tell of the shepherds finding Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus.  Stories from Matthew 2:1-12 tell of the wise men finding Jesus (but later than normally depicted in scenes like the photo above).  One Internet source offers the following about the wise men: 
After Jesus was born, Wise Men came to look for Him, probably from an area which is now in either Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia or the Yemen. Although they are often called the 'Three Kings', the Bible does not say how many there were, or that they were kings. One theory is that they might have been Kings of the Yemen, as during this time the Kings of Yemen were Jews. Three is only a guess because they brought with them three gifts: but however many there were of them, they probably would have had many more servants with them.
