The wise men, also known as the Biblical Magi or Three Wise Men, brought three gifts to Jesus after his birth: gold, frankincense, and myrrh

• Gold : A precious metal symbolizing Jesus' kingship and divinity. It was a royal gift, acknowledging Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords

• Frankincense : A fragrant resin used in worship and offerings to God, symbolizing holiness, righteousness, and Jesus' priestly role. It represents his willingness to become a sacrifice and his divine nature

• Myrrh : A resin used for embalming and as a bitter drink, symbolizing suffering, affliction, and death. It foreshadows Jesus' future suffering and crucifixion

These gifts were valuable and meaningful, not only honoring Jesus as a king and divine figure but also practically aiding his family, such as financing their flight to Egypt

. The gifts collectively reveal aspects of Jesus' identity and mission: king, priest, and suffering savior
