Matthew 2 “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him… they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.”
Most of us know the story of the birth of Jesus and the three magi or wisemen who came to bring Jesus gifts as told in the Bible. While we are unsure that there were actually 3 wisemen we are sure that there were 3 gifts and we have adapted 3 wisemen into our traditional nativity scene. Here on Christmas Day in Al Ain we had the arrival of the 3 wisemen on camels.
