“The story of the visit by the Magi appears only in the Gospel according to Ma7hew. Here we see wise figures, most
likely astronomers, seeking out the newly born king to pay him homage. The number three is a late interpreta4on, as
are names for these mysterious figures. The gi>s acknowledge the infant’s regal stature, and hint at the anoin4ng
that will await him in death. This story underscores the universality of the Messiah, who has come to redeem all.”
