Poixilea Desantle (from far away lands), The three wise men from East navigated through this Bright Star of Bethlehem, which led them to the infant Jesus cradled in the arms of his mother. How did they know? that the infant they witnessed was God in form of a baby. We'll never know... this Konkani hymn reverberates in our Churches during the Epiphany of our Lord, Credit: to the Choir, Echoes of Love

Ballkachea ghorar tharlem;
It stopped at the house of the Baby;
sontoxi kalliz zalem.
their hearts were filled with joy.
