Happy/Merry/Joyous the reason of your choice to you and yours from me and the cats.
ReplyDeleteThe star is supposedly in the East, which would mean they had to be traveling from Egypt, although it is implied that the Magi are also from the East, but that doesn't make sense. Logically the star has to be on the left to show three riders strung out, centered to show the riders riding abreast. It's art not history, so it doesn't have to make any real sense.
Thank you for dampening O'Rielly's yule log ;)
Thanks, Bryan. I suppose even the Middle East has a history of North-centeredness. An Aussie colleague of mine once brought and posted a map of Australia with South on the top; we had it on the office wall for several years.
DeleteAfter following that (expletive deleted) star for so long, I am sure the three riders were indeed "strung out"!
Merry, Merry Christmas Steve and Stella.
