In short: The problem is, that the statue of the black king is a kind of caricature of a black person.
If they replaced it with a normal statue of a black person, the problem would be solved.
But they take it as a pretext, to do away with the TREE HOLY KINGS altogether.
Yup, a country full of mopes.I had a similar take, when are the German’s not upset about something?
Seriously though, I don't recall the Bible calling the wise men kings, or numbering them for that matter.
LOL your aloof "I dont care" act is so blatantly fake no one is falling for it, bro. Try something else.
The Bible speaks of "wise men of the East" - or so.
And as there were 3 presents one thinks of three men.
I hope you are not one of those fanatically fundamental "Bible Christians" who hate anything that is not mentioned in the Bible!
There is also such a thing as "Christian tradition and culture" that should not be dis-regarded!
Not at all. I just like to know my sources.
Yeah, its you LOLAww...did that trigger you? Just a 'lil? Seriously, I had to read back through the thread to even remember what this was about. Someone needs to get over themself....
"Holy Kings"...But to chase all the three Holy Kings out of the church - that is too much!
Yeah, its you LOL
Claims he doesnt care, yet keeps coming back to thread in order to explain himself.
LMAO. Must be an Ontario thing.
And then there is Christian truth...the men were unnumbered and they were magi/astrologers...a pagan custom...The Bible speaks of "wise men of the East" - or so.

..a pagan custom...
They were Zoroastrian for sure.
Nobody is banning the three kings. Why are you repeating the lie you've already been corrected on?It would be a sad day if those kings were banned from the Minster in Ulm on their own day!
6th January – how the Three Kings Day is celebrated in european countries
Christmas Eve is over. However, tomorrow it’s the Three Kings Day, which is differently called in other European countries. As Colorland is a global company, aware of the cultural variety, we’ve decided to share with you some information about traditions and ways of celebrating the Twelfth Night...www.colorland.com
In Germany, the holiday is called: „Heilige Drei Könige”, „Dreikönigsfest” or „Dreikönigstag” and is celebrated mostly by Catholics. In the calendar of Evangelical Church it’s also present, however, it’s not celebrated so much. In most of the german regions it's a working day, but in regions: Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Saxony-Anhalt this day is a bank holiday. People mark houses with letters: C+M+B+year, what is interpreted as first letters of the names of The Three Kings or as the shortcut from Latin: "Christus mansionem benedicat“. The Three Kings day is also connected with the sixteenth century tradition of children singing carols in local parish ( Sternsinger). Children dress like Three Kings and walk from house to house, singing carols or praying. In this way, they collect charitable donations. In the past, children were rewarded with apples or nuts.
Nobody cares what lame movies you like. Counting trees all day gives one an inflated sense of ego since they cant talk back to you, right?Now we're going around in circles. Go back to the post about how I've watched the Trailer Park Boys. As long as you want to air reruns, I'll return to laugh at you.
The blessing for this year is:
20 + C + M + B + 20
If we are referring to the wise men who are frequently depicted in nativity scenes (Joseph, Mary, and there is baby Jesus in a pile of hay) it is scripturally inaccurate.Three Holy Kings banned from nativity scene in church
That is the news:
German church wants black image of three kings banned for ‘racist caricature’
