Wisemen Seeking Jesus

Traveled from afar
Guided on their journey     
By a beauteous star.
     James T. East

January 6th -  the day we celebrate the Wisemen's visit to Jesus.

 
Yes, even the Wisemen visited Jesus.
 
The traditional (or popular) explanation of why Jesus was given these gifts:
Gold - a symbol representing his status as a king
Frankincense - a symbol to represent his role as a servant of God (priest)
Myrrh - a symbol that takes into account his death and being laid in the tomb
 
What I am also impressed by is that these are all a very similar colour. ...
