The Prince of Peace was born and the Three Wisemen brought gifts, an explosive Artillery Shell, Cannon, and a Bloody Dagger!

The Artwork, a hand-colored Lithograph by Artist Louis Raemaekers, was created in 1915 and titled: "The Wisemen from the East." Raemaekers portrayed the Three Kings of Christmas presenting the baby Jesus with weapons... the Artwork done in the style of a Renaissance tableau. What

would the Artist think today of the Holy town of Bethlehem, stained by rivers of blood and suffering under a military occupation?
