 | Adoration of the Magi (New Testament narrative) | |
| Note: Episode in the Life of Christ in which the three magi travel from the East, following a star, to worship the newborn Jesus Christ. The magi are represented as three or more astrologers or wise men with Phrygian caps in early depictions; later they are represented as three kings, representing the three ages of man and the then-known three continents (Africa, Asia, and Europe). They bring three gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, representing Christ's kingship, his divinity, and his sacrifice (myrrh being an embalming spice). The kings are often accompanied by a retinue of servants and animals representing the exotic realms from which they have traveled. In general, this feast symbolizes the recognition of Jesus as king by the gentiles and by the earthly rulers of the world. In the Western church calendar, this event is commemorated as the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6. In the Orthodox Church calendar, it is commemorated on the same day as the Feast of the Nativity, December 25. The story originates in the Biblical Gospel of Matthew (2:1-11), although it was much enhanced. | |
