The presents of the Three Wise Men
Thirteen days after Baby Jesus´birth three magicians from the East came to Jerusalem, saying: where is the King of the Jews who was born because we have seen His star? They were called magicians by the greatness of their science since they were called magicians by Persian whom the Greeks called philosophers. They arrived from the limits of Persia, though it is not probable that in thirteen days for them to ride in dromedaries crossing wide countries. There was a different star from others for its radiance and even the daytime light could not dazzle it , for its situation it was not placed in the sky with the minor stars, not in the ether with the planets but it was advancing in the atmosphere guiding the magicians through routes near the Earth. The Magi went to Herod, or the devil and they lost the star, meaning they lost the grace of God, then they moved away from Herod and recovered Him. They were surrounded by a column of cloud by day and a column of fire in the night protecting them until they came to the cradle of the Savior. The Baby Jesus and Maria mean the innocence and purity, they knelt down devoutly to God; the worship of Baby Jesus is the end of the quest, and the Wise Men opening their hidden chests, they offered their best gifts to God. The magicians offered Baby Jesus gold that means Jesus´s royalty, this way the real penitents offer to God the gold of the pure poverty, the incense of the pious prayer and the myrrh of the voluntary mortification. Those who want to obtain the joy to see Baby Jesus must avoid sin and corruption to be able to offer these gifts to Him and live eternally in his Kingdom.
