Now that would be a serious size cake to fit 2010 candles on. I just found an acticle about two astronomers who went into CHina 20 years ago to disprove the birth of Jesus useing the Star of Bethlehem as thie guide. They found that the star did appear over China in 8 B.C.on the 25 of March (our calendar). They were able to work out the dates from the Chinese calendar. The records show that one of the Rulers followed the star that seemed to move. He took with him an army of 1000 (personal body guards I suspect). Tradition has it that 3 Wise Men (the number of gifts given). So if each had an army of 1000 men, that means 3000 decended on poor Herod. No wonder the guy freaked out. I don't think the Romans would have been impressed either. The Romans would have normaly stopped such a large force moving through their land. The fact is they made it and worshipped Jesus with gifts fit for a King. These presents would have helped Joseph and Mary flee to Egypt. There's a storm coming, our Storm.
