Canterbury Cathedral: Dream of the Magi

Dream of the Magi

Medieval stained glass (c.1180) depicting an angel warning the sleeping Three Magi not to return to Herod. The Magi look charmingly cozy in their communal bed; it was common practice for travelers to share beds in the Middle Ages. (Leaving one's crown on in bed was probably not quite so common.)
