In the story, the Magi travel from afar, guided by a star, to bring gifts to the infant Jesus. They are said to represent the different aspects of human nature and the gifts we can offer others.
- Gold: Symbolizes material wealth and prosperity, representing the physical gifts we can give to others.
- Frankincense: Symbolizes spirituality and prayer, representing the gifts of our inner selves and our connection to the divine.
- Myrrh: Symbolizes healing and anointing, representing the gifts of our hearts and our ability to bring comfort and support.
