Magi

The Magi, often called Wise Men or Kings, were learned individuals from the East who visited Jesus after his birth, as described in the Christian Bible. They are traditionally thought to have been astrologers or scholars of astronomy, who recognized a special star indicating the birth of a new king. Their journey symbolizes recognition of Jesus as a significant figure by outsiders. Historically, the Magi are not necessarily kings but are respected as wise men with knowledge of celestial events and ancient traditions. Their story highlights themes of guidance, discovery, and the acknowledgment of a divine or extraordinary event.
