Well, this is how I interpreted the Latin line. The
house in question is the house of the Infant Christ in
Bethlehem and the enterers in question are the kings
from the East.

Well, I suppose this could be the meaning as well, and
don't really see that it makes terribly much
difference in context, but I do think the Latin
indicated the first by using the word "invicem".
