Magi, in Christian tradition, refers to the noble pilgrims who followed the star from the east to Bethlehem.
Were there three of them or were there twelve? Did they really bring gold, frankincense and myrrh? As well as their wisdom? And other gifts? Did a careless question lead to the slaughter of the innocents?
Our writers however, have found many different interpretations of this word. Some will make you laugh and some may make you cry. They will all make you think.
Magi is the 2025 themed multi-author collection from Bridge House Publishing.
A sweet book that would make a nice holiday gift. Short stories by multiple authors, each with their own unique interpretation of the story of the three magi. Stories are short enough to be read as a break in a busy day, interesting enough to stimulate the imagination and filled with hope for the holiday season
Read three stories so far: Three Wise Monkeys, Adoration, and Lavender.
Particularly enjoyed the story Lavender by Sara Winslow.
A story for the season of caring for those less privileged or just needing a helping hand, despite our hesitations. Loved the different color pale pink paper, sky-blue envelope, periwinkle
Sara Winslow’s short story Lavender is a beautifully written piece. The story makes you think about what is family, home, companionship. And these are not always what you think they are, which is good. You are in for a treat when you read this story.
