the parade illustrated

This morning I spent some time at the National Gallery of Art, we are fortunate to have such a museum... I get to visit numerous world class museums each year and I love this one best...

today i lingered for a long time over this work of art thinking about the parade it depicts...


these images are from my palm and are not too clear but this next shot of the upper right section shows a parade of people coming to the stable from a larger city...



I like to think the larger city is Jerusalem and they are coming down to Bethlehem...













the artist depicting the people following the three kings on the left side of the painting...








the guy in the red is lifting his hands and looking heavenward... I wonder if he has suddenly realized that God has sent the redeemer?


here is the family... the kings paying homage to the young King of kings...





one day we will bow before the King of kings!
