The feast of Epiphany has a lot to do with our notion of home.  Where is our origin?  Where are we going?  When is our wandering done?  Saint Matthew tells us of the Magi, "They were overjoyed at seeing the star."  This star will bring them home, to a place where their questing will end, and they will be satisfied.  Their real home is neither in the East nor in the earthly Jerusalem.  Somehow, their home is wherever this boy and his parents are.
