With all 167 new students here in Gaming, the place is abuzz with meetings and preparations for the beginning of the semester.
With all these administrative items going on, I thought I would report on a beautiful custom here in Austria regarding the 3 kings.
Around the Feast of the Epiphany, locals dress up in costumes resembling the Three Kings who came to adore and worship Jesus 2000 years ago. These look-alikes go around to all the homes here in Gaming, blessing the homes (See pictures with white numbers on the top of the door) and seeking monetary donations to alleviate world poverty.
