THE FACE OF GOD
The song "Mary Did You Know" by Clay Aiken is exquisitely beautiful.
It is also most meaningful to all who adore the life, love, lessons, legacy, faith, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, especially at this season, Christmas, the one holiday named in homage of this humble, yet exalted, "man's" birth on Earth.

Fixation upon and adoration of that above him by day, by night, day-in-day out, diurnally, led early man to notice, to record certain patterns, similarities between the heavens above, and the Earth below them.
One such observation involved the star "Sirius," which rose each year immediately before the flooding of the Nile. This annual inundation of the land of Kemet deposited tons of rich, black earth, effluvium, and life-giving water from inner Africa onto the parched desert of the Northern African delta faithfully.
Thereby that once-barren land was quickened, strengthened, fertilized, eventually reclaimed from the sea. The vital, fabled food supplies of Egyptians of meat, fish, fruit, nuts, legumes, bread, beer, vegetables absolutely derived from this flood.
"Sirius," or "Sothis," is the name of the star whose helical rising (before sunrise ) heralded the New Year in Ancient Egypt . It consists of two stars that appear to be one star. It is a binary star, consisting of Sirius A, the larger, more luminous, and Sirius B, the smaller and denser.

As the brightest "star" in the sky, whose meaning presages renewal, rebirth, it is that very bright "star" seen by the Magi or wise men from the East, and by nearby shepherds, in the Bible's New Testament books of Matthew and Luke. Their binary viewing, allusions to this unnamed star symbolizes spirituality the birth of baby Jesus, resurrection of man, and the oneness of man and God.
"When you see your little baby, you see the face of God," croons Clay Aiken, famously in his song. In doing so, he thereby completes the cycles of: above and below, life and death, time and space, energy and matter, in loving musical radiance.
