Collégiale Saint-Thiébaut, Thann France and the Magi in stone

 Salvete Omnes,

happy Epiphany - 

and ad rem,
St Theobald's Church in Thann  

from this amazing church in north-eastern France comes the Magi scene that I am going to bring to your attention, and this  is a  medieval 'bande dessinee' or sculptural graphic novel - that can be found within the main tympanum of the church , whereas the entire tympanum is themed on and devoted to the Life of Saint-Mary.

note that, Three King Caspar, Melchior and  Balthazar  are shown, and Balthazar is already an African or at least a Moor in this sculptural masterpiece.

Below, another late  medieval representation of the Kings - by Hans Memling

and a beautiful Murillo - :)
