The name The Adoration of the Magi is commonly given to the Christian subject in the Nativity of Jesus in art. It depicts the three Magi, who are commonly depicted as kings laying gifts at the feet of the baby Jesus.
The Christian Bible has the story of the Magi attending the birth of Jesus, but I don't think any of the Christian denominations "celebrate" that event, other than possibly showing the three kings in a Christmas pageant.
The word magi comes from the word magi, Magi or Magoi. The Magi were Persian "wise men". Remember the story of the wise men in the Christian story of the birth of Jesus? They were scientists and astronomers. If they could predict an eclipse or do something incredible with chemistry wouldn't you say it was Magic?

AnswerThis question is no doubt asking about the magi of Matthew's Gospel, not the tallest Zoroastrian priest (which is what the magi were). Unfortunately, there can be no answer, because there weren't really any magi. John Shelby Spong (A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that among people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi, or wise men, were not actual people. He says that Matthew was writing Christian midrash.
