One true king knew when to step aside and give up the reins of power–to remove his crown and relinquish his kingdom–all for the sake of glimpsing, just once in a lifetime, the face of a holy child. He was the Fourth to follow the Star.His gift was a secret. The rest of his journey is unknown. Vera Nazarian
