Amen. Sounds good. But since the books are not clear, we have some
leeway. I would rather have Him come as an adult, spend a short time
(Fall to Spring) teaching and preaching, then the battles with the
dragons. So the fall Celebration of His Arrival, and the spring
Resurrection Festival fit nicely. And there can be other holy days,
maybe one every other month.
