The #AdorationOfTheMagi or #AdorationOfTheKings or Visitation of the Wise Men is the name traditionally given to the subject in the #NativityOfJesusInArt in which the #threeMagi, represented as kings, especially in the West, having found Jesus by following a #star, lay before him gifts of #gold, #frankincense, and #myrrh, and worship him. It is related in the Bible by #Matthew211: "On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then.

If I were a wise man
Today I was a wise man. A wise man in a living nativity. Part dress-up; part improv – talking to people as they pass through, teaching them about the three gifts (gold, frankincense, and myrrh), where the two non-obvious ones come from, and what they mean.
It was a lot of fun. I am glad I was roped into it now.

Quote of the day, 5 January: Jessica Powers
There is a star above this street for me.
Hither I came of old,
bearing my myrrh and frankincense and gold.
Hunger and loneliness and povertyI brought for their delight
once in my youth upon a snowy night.
I did not follow to the inmost placewhere the Child lay asleep.
It was too splendid; the light dripped too deep.
I saw the tears upon the Virgin’s face.I gave my gifts to her,
and the night ended in a golden blur.
Sister Miriam of the Holy Spirit, o.c.d. (Jessica Powers)

For thousands of years, #Tree #Resins known as #Frankincense (white/milky) & #Myrrh (reddish) were used to make #Sweet #Perfume, Incense, & #Medicine.
The #Trees are #Native to #Arabia & NE #Africa.
To #Collect the resins, the #Bark is cut, which allows the #Essence to seep out & dry into #Crystals.
#Nomads sold the #Prized #Aromatics, which were as #Precious as #Gold, #Gems, or #Spices.
Frankincense is #French for #Pure #Incense.
Myrrh is #Semetic for #Bitter. -

@godpod Frankly, anything but #Myrrh. What a stupid gift for a baby as it was used to treat Leprosy, Syphilis and for Embalming?? What kind of message are they sending here?
Not that #Frankincense is much better. Why would a Baby need an aromatic resin used in incense and perfumes?
Gold is always good though. A timeless gift and much needed by parents who are forced to give birth in a barn.
So I'm thinking we should call them the one wise guy and his two friends.
