According to the [Gospel of Matthew] (2:1-16), the wise men or
Magi followed a star to the birth place of Christ. It was written that they were from the east and that they brought three gifts to Christ; gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Since there were three gifts, it has been inferred that there were three Magi.
Also, so that you know, we really don’t know the identity of these Magi - either. We are just assuming - according to what was given as gifts.
“No one knows which cities the Wise Men ruled; we can, however, be certain that the Magi were three in number, like their gifts, and that they were from the East. Though they set out from different locations,
they were guided by a single star. Providence caused them to
meet one another, and after discussing the reason they were traveling, they continued their journey together, still following the celestial light foretold by the renowned stargazer of ancient times, Balaam, who said, “A star shall rise out of Jacob, a man shall spring out of Israel” (Num. Ch, 24). And what sort of star was this? Saint John Chrysostom and Theophilact affirm that it was not an ordinary star, like those we see every night, but "
a divine and angelic power that appeared in the form of a star .”
Stopping at this point. What I would like to have noted is how each Christian faith has a unique form of how they worship Christ as in their music and how they have experienced a deep personal relationship with him. It was good to view from the one’s that I had posted…
edit …as well as the one’s others have posted whether as a community (music), in concert or solo (video). There is such a vast difference but each is unique and beautiful. Even as we pray - there is no set of rules on how we communicate although we are guided with examples but when you really get down to it, we eventually come to him with our own humility - in earnest.
