The word (Peri), according to Persian folklore is a supernatural being descended from Fallen Angels and excluded from paradise until penance is done. Remember the wise men or magi were Persians! I will detail about this in another posting. So the Persians who needed penance showed up to witness the birth of Christ! If this does not get your attention to the importance of witnessing to the Persian people nothing will. Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
