Description
17th century painting depicting Balthazar's 1st celebration of Christmas. Balthazar was one of the 3 kings who followed the star of Betlehem in order to pay homage to Jesus upon his birth. Having suspected that Harold's intentions were to destroy Jesus he did not advise him of what he had learnt about Jesus's birth but returned to his palace were according to Catholic tradition he organised a great feast to celebrate Jesus's birth. So in a manner of speaking this is a representation of the 1st Christmas celebration.
