Gold frankincense and myrrh were for Jesus not the parents
No record of this in the Bible, but we can presume that Mary and Joseph held high respect for the wise men as they allowed them to worship baby Jesus and give their gifts to him.
Yes, the gifts were very valuable.
There is purposeful symbolism in the gifts, but hyperbole? probably not. Each of the gifts was a message to Joseph and Mary. Most likely Persian astronomers and astrologers, the wise men brought gold - to symbolize the birth of a king frankencense - a sacred incense to acknowledge that the wise men knew the nature of whom they were giving the gifts to myrrh - an embalming fluid to symbolize the danger Joseph and his family were in
you give people gifts because the wise men gave gifts to Jesus
The Magi were the wise men who came from the east in search of the newborn King of the Jews. They were guided to where Jesus, Mary and Joseph were staying in Bethlehem where they left gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
The wise men gave gifts to Jesus as a sign of respect and to honor him as a king.
Gold, Frankinsense, and Myrhh !
The wise men brought gifts to Jesus after His birth.
The story follows as such An angel had appeared to Mary and said that she was to have a baby of the lord and that she was to name him Jesus. Mary and Joseph then travelled to Bethlehem and they stayed in a stable/barn and she had baby Jesus (he was born in a manger inside the barn). Three wise men came bearing gifts for the new born king because they believed that he was the "king of the Jews". And that is the story of the birth of Jesus.
yes
The Russian Christmas legend includes the Wise Men being misdirected and Mary and Joseph being turned away. In the legend, Babousckla is the one who did these things.
