Yeonggwang County
Yeonggwang County (Yeonggwang-gun) is a county in South Jeolla Province, South Korea.
Speciality
Yeonggwang is famous for its large production of Small yellow croaker which Korean people choose as one of the best presents to give to other people. It is called Yeonggwang gulbi (meaning dried croaker) among Koreans, and it is nicknamed "rice thief" because of its wide popularity.
They originated from the Goryeo Dynasty. Yellow croaker move northward from the East China Sea, where they spend the winter season, to Yeonpyeongdo Island, to spawn at the start of the thawing season. They spawn at sea in front of Chilsan, near Beopseongpo in Yeonggwang, between April 10 and 30, while moving northward.

One King
by: Point Of GraceKings of earth on a course unknown
Bearing gifts from afar
Hoping, praying
Following yonder star
Silhouette of a caravan
Painted against the sky
Wise men searching
For the Holy Child
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
And one king held the hope of the world
A star hangs over Bethlehem
A journey ends in the night
Three kings trembling
Behold the glorious sight
Heaven's treasure Emmanuel
Drawing men to bow down
Tiny baby born to wear a crown
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
And one king held the hope of the world
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satans power
When we were gone astray
Oh Tiny Baby born to wear a crown
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
And one king held the hope of the world
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
And one king held the hope of the world
One king held the purest gold
