The Three Magi or Wise Men
Today I am feeling essence of Three Magi and there presence showering and healing me today. How we receive gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. May we be blessed by how Gold heals our blood that flows in our body. The gift of Frankincense for clearing our Divinity and Myrrh for receiving the Son of Man from God.
("According to tradition dating back to medieval times, their names were Balthasar, Gaspar (or Casper), and Melchior. They are often depicted as representing the three races. The Bible says they came from the East, but exactly where is not known. Arabia, Babylon, and Persia are popular choices. According to one tradition, Balthasar was king of Arabia, Gaspar was king of India, and Melchior was king of Persia."
An 8th century saint, Bede the Venerable, described the kings this way: "The first was called Melchior; he was an old man, with white hair and long beard; he offered gold to the Lord as to his king. The second, Gaspar by name, young, beardless, of ruddy hue, offered to Jesus his gift of incense, the homage due to Divinity. The third, of black complexion, with heavy beard, was called Baltasar; the myrrh he held in his hands prefigured the death of the Son of man.")
