THREE WIZARDS The Magi from the East (or simply Magi) is the name which tradition known visitors who, after the birth of Jesús from Nazareth, came from foreign countries to pay tribute and give you rich symbolic gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.The Gospels speak only about «magicians», nowhere lists their names, which were Kings, nor were three (a number that is possibly due to the amount of offered gifts). These beliefs were added centuries later and have remained in the popular tradition.According to Catholic belief, these Magi were representatives of «pagan» religions of neighboring villages, which the Gospels come as the first fruits of the Nations that accept the Catholic religion.
