• This painting is Adoration of the Magi

​

• After Jesus is born, pagan magi from the East come searching for Jesus having seen and followed his star. After learning that the messiah is to be born in Bethlehem from the Jewish king Herod, they

hasten there and find Mary, Joseph, and Jesus. The magi present Jesus with the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Tradionally, these gifts symbolize Jesus' kingship, divinity, and humanity
