PRAYER OF THE SANTONS
We have come from afar
Guided by the Eastern Star.
Praises loud to Thee we sing.
Humble gifts to Thee we bring.
Teach us, Holy Child, we ask,
Cheerfully to do our task.
Make us love to delve and toil
Like the tiller of the soil.
Like the oxen, strong and steady.
Like the watchmen, ever ready.
Make us like the shepherd, wise
To know warnings in the skies.
Make us sturdy as the ass,
Merry as the gypsy lass,
Like the potter at his wheel
For his handcraft full of zeal.
Make us love both great and small
And love Thee who has made us all.

The kneeling farm lady has brought “La Pompe” as her gift. It is a flat, round cake pierced with irregular holes. It is made with flour, olive oil and sugar, flavored with orange blossom essence and lemon. It is dipped in cooked wine before eaten. She is most often paired with the man praying and we offer the two in a boxed gift set.
Available in #1, #2, #3
