HAPPY EPIPHANY EVERYBODY!!!

Today is Three Kings Day. A Catholic priest has the ability to bless gold, frankincense, and myrrh this day. The woman who works at the liquor store next door bought a bottle of Goldschläger to be blessed.

True story.

At Cheers POS this morning, our secretary was doing two things:
1. Looking up web-based phone systems, and;
2. Looking up what's happening with the Epiphany this year.

1. If you have any suggestions for a certain cloud pbx, please let us know.

2. We will include some links we found.

Please take this article with a grain of salt; we cannot verify it (plus it repeats itself). We do not know how accurate it is, but, we include it since we found it interesting. ABC News Article Regarding Epiphany Celebrations

Please take this article with the Sifto Canadian, Inc. Salt Mines. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/12082544/What-is-Epiphany-Here-are-10-facts-about-the-history-and-meaning-of-Three-Kings-Day.html

There are other articles we came across that were even more poorly researched, understood, and composed. These are the facts about The Epiphany:
--It's the day celebrated by the Catholic Church of the Magi's arrival to Jesus.
--The Book of Matthew (in the Bible) says that the Wise Men arrived at the house and found, "the child with Mary his Mother," there -- that is, this did NOT happen the day Jesus was born. They came to the house, not the stable. Joseph was not mentioned. When you see the Wise Men in the Nativity, know this is NOT historically accurate (these things bother us).
--The Book of Matthew never says there were three.
--Nor does the Bible ever mention their names.
--This is the first time Jesus manifested Himself to the gentiles; that is why this day is so important.
--It may have taken around two years before the Wise Men (and all their entourage, including beasts of burden) got to Jesus.
--The three gifts are significant:
A: Gold -- Because Jesus is king.
B: Incense -- Because Jesus is priest.
C: Myrrh -- Because Jesus will die. (Myrrh is for anointing a dead body).

And now you know.

And, seriously, if you have a good cloud-based phone provider you are happy with, please let us know.

Thank you, kindly, and please use this day to celebrate (our secretary JUST tried Chartreuse for the first time). For some, it is Christmas (the birth of Jesus Christ), for some, this is the day where they get gifts (Christmas, December 25, is for religion, this day is for gift exchanges). We hope you can do something fun and relaxing this day.

~Cheers!
