The Three Wise Men brought gold, frankincense and myrrh to the newborn king. Myrrh being commonly used as an anointing oil,  frankincense as a perfume,  and gold as a valuable.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Three Kings came riding from far away,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Melchior and Gaspar and Baltasar;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Three Wise Men out of the East were they,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And they travelled by night and they slept by day,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">For their guide was a beautiful, wonderful star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The Three Kings by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh were the three presents brought by the Wise Men to the Infant Christ, lying in the manger stall, at Bethlehem. Gold to Christ means that all the affluence of the world surrendered to Him and Gold paid the way for Joseph and Mary and the divine fugitive into Egypt. The gold for Christ, the silver for Christ, the jewels for Christ. The bright, round, beautiful jewel of a world set like a solitaire on the bosom of Christ. The wise men shook myrrh out of their sacks and the cattle snuffed at it but didn\u2019t eat it because it was bitter. This pungent gum resin of Abyssinia was brought to the feet of Christ to show bitter betrayal, persecution, days of suffering and bitter nights. Myrrh was put into His cup when He was dying and put under His head in the wilderness and Myrrh was used on His from the cattle-pen in Bethlehem to the mausoleum. Frankincense means worship and was brought to temples, sprinkled over the living coals, and when they were ready to worship, the cover was lifted and perfumed smoke arose and filled the places of worship and altars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In modern times, gifts are given on December 25th, or Christmas Day, in most countries but in others it is December 6th, or Saint Nicholas Day, and January 6th, or Epiphany. European countries generally follow the custom of giving each other presents on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
