The Hymn of the Pearl -- Ancient Christian text 200 A.D.

The Hymn of the Pearl is a poetic tale found in the apocryphal book The Acts of Thomas. It was likely written around 100-200 AD. Some dismiss the hymn as just another heretical gnostic text. Others, with eyes to see, will discover great truths embedded into this powerful story. What is the pearl? An object? A character trait? A mode of being? How does one obtain it? Who is the lost prince? Christ? Adam? Us? I'll leave that for you to decide. For those curious to learn more about the symbolism in the story, I recommend this excellent doctoral thesis: https://api.pageplace.de/preview/DT04...
