Felictate
To felicitate is to compliment upon a happy event; congratulate.
The Gospel of Matthew records that magi from the east felicitated with Mary and Joseph on the birth of Jesus, bestowing gifts of of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:1-12)
When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. (Matthew 2:10-11, NASB)
Note: This oil on canvas of the Adoration of the Magi was painted by Antonio da Correggio (1489-1534). It resides in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.
