The Three Wise Men

The Three Wise Men, also known as the Magi, are figures from the Christian Nativity story who traveled from the East to visit the newborn Jesus. Guided by a star, they brought valuable gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, symbolizing kingship, divinity, and mortality. Historically, they represent the recognition of Jesus’ significance by outsiders and the worship of Christ as king. Their story highlights themes of guidance, reverence, and the universal acknowledgment of Jesus' importance across cultures. The Magi are celebrated in Christian tradition, especially during Epiphany, which commemorates their visit.
