ONLINE STUDY GUIDE - HERODIUM

Offering Your Gifts

Herodium: 'The Magi' by James Tissot

The Country Around Herodium      
      

 

The Three Kings, who travelled through the country around Herodium, brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Infant Jesus. These were the most valuable things they had, and each one was significant.

What are the gifts you offer to God?

Think about this, then write down the specific gifts you have to offer. Keep the list, and look at it from time to time to remind yourself of your own worth.


Archaeology and You

Domed Roof Structure - drawing  
 
     

Archaeologists try to reconstruct the past by finding and identifying objects used by people who lived long ago - like the
Domed Roof Structure that was still intact when they excavated Herodium.

They must rely on objects that have survived - learning about the lives of people who created and used these objects.

Imagine an archaeologist a thousand years in the future, sifting through the remains of your home.

  • What objects would survive?
  • What could the archaeologist tell about you?
  • How complete would their picture be?
  • Of all the objects in your life, what would you like to survive?
