A:
The Magi were a west Iranian tribe that provided the priests for the Zoroastrian religion in ancient times, much as the tribe of Levites provided the priests for Judaism. The Magi no longer exist as an identifiable tribe. While small numbers of people still follow Zoroastrianism in Iran, Pakistan and India, their priests are no longer Magi.
Matthew's Gospel speaks of magi (traditionally three, but the number is not actually given) visiting the baby Jesus with valuable gifts. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that among people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi of the gospel were not actual people. Matthew was clearly writing Christian midrash.
