What happened to the gifts from the wise men?
A: If the wise men brought gifts of gold, frankinsense and myrrh, Joseph and Mary would have been rich beyond their wildest dreams. They would have been able to support themselves and Jesus in comfort for the several years they must have spent in Egypt before beginning the return journey to Bethlehem. On the other hand, perhaps there were no gifts. Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the world's Anglicans, has described the story of the three wise men as nothing but a "legend" and says there is little evidence that they existed.
