From Oklahoma-An Oklahoma City church had several unusual visitors appear at a recent service.
Two camels were part of the Epiphany celebration Jan. 5 at St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church, 14700 N May.
Epiphany is the Christian celebration of the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus to the Gentiles, represented by the Magi.
The Magi also are known as the three kings or wise men.
Epiphany is generally observed Jan. 6.
According to the Bible, the three kings presented baby Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
The Rev. Joseph Alsay, rector of St. Augustine, said the live camels have added a realistic and fun flair to the church's Epiphany service the past few years.
He said children, in particular, seem to enjoy watching as the unexpected visitors slowly make their way through the sanctuary.
