Eliot’s magnificent poem “Journey of the Magi” (1935) was written as an old-age reminiscence in the voice of one of the Three Kings and traces a richly symbolic spiritual journey that foreshadows Christ’s future Passion, and thus changes the pagan Magi — and the world — forever. © 2024 The Catholic Thing.
