What were the 3 gifts that Jesus got when he was born?

How did king Herod react to the visit of the wise men?
This is in Matthew's Gospel. He asked them to return to Jerusalem and inform him about the baby Jesus. Surprisingly, he did not have the wise men followed or send spies to Bethlehem, so that even if the wise men reported back to him, he could have been unable to locate the house in which the baby Jesus lay. In the event, the wise men were warned in a dream and went home a different way, not going to Jerusalem. Joseph was warned in another dream, and fled to Egypt for fear of Herod. Then King Herod ordered all the infant boys under two years old to be slaughtered. John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) calls Matthew's story of the wise men Christian midrash. The flight to Egypt, Herod's Slaughter of the Innocents and the journey from Egypt to Nazareth were designed to help draw parallels between Moses and Jesus.
What does a candy cane evergreen tree the colors red and green and a star on your tree and presents have to do with Christmas?
The Evergreen tree means eternal life, because they live all year long. The red and green means Jesus' blood and eternal life. The star means the star that the wise men saw when Jesus was born. The candy Cane is the Shepherds cane. We get presents because Jesus got gold silver and murr from the wise men.
What is the difference between shepherds and wise men in the Bible?
Shepherds were around Bethlehem watching their flocks.The wise men were from the far east some think they were Kings and some say they were astrologers and or scientists. They took much longer to reach Jesus, and he was almost certainly not newborn by that time, despite the depictions by artists etc. The shepherds were able to see the newborn Jesus because they were in the region.
2 The Bible says that exactly three wise men traveled from afar on camels to visit the infant Jesus as he lay in the mangeris this true?
No particular number of wise men are mentioned. People have just assumed it from the three types of gift mentioned. Neither does it say they came to see him in the manger, but he was possibly a toddler by the time they arrived. Also their mode of transport is not mentioned. The other ideas commonly associated with the wise men are traditions that have grown up around them. Here's the Biblical account of the events: == "1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him... 8 And he [Herod] sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. 12And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way."
What is the story of Christmas nativity about?
Over two thousand years ago a young woman by the name of Mary lived in the small town of Nazareth. Mary was to be married to a carpenter named Joseph. She was unaware of the significance of her life until one day an angel sent from God appeared before her. The angel Gabriel had good news for Mary. She had been chosen by God to have a special baby. The baby was to be God's son and she would name him Jesus. Mary told Gabriel she would do whatever God asked. Not long after the angel's visit, Mary and Joseph were married. Together they made a long journey to Bethlehem where Mary was to have her baby. When they arrived in Bethlehem they did not have a place to stay because the inn there was full. The kind innkeeper told them he had a stable where the animals lived that they could stay in for the night. Jesus, God's Son, was born that night. Mary wrapped baby Jesus in a small cloth and placed him in a manger of hay. That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, gathering their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel from God appeared before them in a bright light. They were afraid but the angel reassured them. He said he has brought them good news that will bring great joy to all people. He told them that the Son of God has been born today in the city of Bethlehem. The angel told them that they will recognize Him by this sign; he will be wrapped snugly in cloth, lying in a manger. The shepherds hurried to go to see Baby Jesus. When they found him in the stable in Bethlehem, they were filled with great joy at the sight of God's Son. They kneeled before the baby and worshipped him. After seeing the baby, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and that the angel appeared to them and told them that Jesus was God's Son and to be Savior of the World. The same night far away in the East, wise men were traveling on their camels when they noticed a very strange bright star in the sky. They knew that this star meant that the King of the Jews, the One who would save the world had been born. During the time that Jesus was born, a very mean king by the name of Herod ruled the land. The three wise men decided to go to the king to learn where they could find this special baby: the King of the Jews. When King Herod heard this, he got very worried as he thought this new king might take his throne away. King Herod called a meeting with all of the other important people in the area and asked them to find this special child so that he too, could worship this special baby. King Herod told the wise men to go and find this child. After they had spoken to the King, the wise men left to find the baby. They did not know where to find the baby, but at night they followed the star in the east. They followed the star until they found the very place the star hung over in Bethlehem. When they finally arrived, they were excited and happy. They found baby Jesus laying in Mary's arms and they kneeled down and worshipped Him. The wise men brought gifts for Jesus of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Mary thanked them for bringing the gifts for Jesus and the wise men left to find a place to sleep for the night. As they were sleeping, they each had the same dream . The wise men were warned by an angel not to go back to King Herod and tell him about where they found the Jesus as King Herod had intended on killing him. The wise men returned to their country without going to see King Herod. Soon after, Joseph also had a dream where an angel told him to take Mary and the Baby Jesus to Egypt as King Herod was to order to have Jesus be killed. They left Bethlehem for Egypt immediately. When the wise men did not return to King Herod, he ordered that baby boys in Bethlehem be killed. They never found Jesus as he was safe.

Who got there before the three wise men?
A:In Matthew's nativity account, wise men (although not necessarily three) came to visit the baby Jesus. We are not told when this was, but it could have been between the time of Jesus' birth and about two years later, as this gospel tells us that Herod ordered the death of all baby boys under two years old. In Luke's gospel, there is no mention of the wise men, but poor shepherds came to visit the baby Jesus. The visit of the shepherds was certainly in the first few weeks of Jesus life, as the young family left Bethlehem forever, heading home to Nazareth via Jerusalem, where Jesus was presented at the Temple. A superficial look at these events would mean that the shepherds probably visited first.However, there is a problem with attempting to create a unified chronology out of both Matthew and Luke. If Luke is historically correct and the shepherds arrived first, the young family had already left Bethlehem before the wise men arrived. If Matthew is historically correct, the family could not have travelled home from Bethlehem to Nazareth, as Matthew says they fled from Bethlehem to Egypt. Moreover, Matthew tells us that Bethlehem was the home town of Mary and Joseph, and it was only after they began to return to this home in Bethlehem that they turned aside and travelled to Galilee where they settled in a city called Nazareth.We need to read each nativity account on its own merits and accept what we like from each one, but without attempting to make a single, reliable history out of the two stories.
