| Description: |
People across the world are familiar with the Christmas card image of these exotic kings paying homage to the newly born Jesus at the stable in Bethlehem, but their true story is filled with mystery. From Yemen in Southern Arabia to Persia and the ancient center of astronomy at Babylon in Mesopotamia, we search for the origins of the Three Wise Men, and learn the secrets of the gifts they brought for Jesus. Using new evidence we discover explanations for the miraculous appearance of a star which led them to Bethlehem. As we journey into a world of prophets and ancient myths, we shed new light on the early traditions of the Wise Men - from Long-hidden frescoes to dusty sacred texts and beautiful mosaics in early churches throughout the ancient and medieval world. By retracing the steps of the Wise Men, we piece together a fascinating puzzle to reveal how their incredible trip has influenced every aspect of the Christmas story, from the time of the Church Fathers to the present day. |
