Three gifts are explicitly identified in Matthew: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Many different theories of the meaning and symbolism of the gifts have been advanced; while gold is fairly obviously explained, frankincense, and particularly myrrh, are much more obscure. They generally break down into two groups: * That they are all ordinary gifts for a king - myrrh being commonly used as an anointing oil, frankincense as a perfume, and gold as a valuable. * That they are prophetic - gold as a symbol of kingship on earth, frankincense (an incense) as a symbol of priestship, and myrrh (an embalming oil) as a symbol of death. Sometimes this is described more generally as gold symbolizing virtue, frankincense symbolizing prayer, and myrrh symbolizing suffering.

A:The gifts of the Magi can be interpreted as foreshadowing Jesus' life and death. The gold, representing royalty, foretells Jesus as King. The incense, symbolic of the prayers of the high priests rising up to heaven, foretells Jesus as High Priest. The myrrh, often used as a burial oil, foretells Jesus' death.The three gifts stood for gold for a king, frankincense for divinity and myrrh for embalement.

It says that he received 3 types of gifts - gold, frankincense, and myrrh. He may have received many containers of each, because the scriptures do not specifically say. The scriptures also do not explicitly say how many kings/magi there were, just the number of types of gifts, so it is assumed that since there were 3 gifts, there were 3 Magi.
