The Gospel of Matthew tells of the magi visiting Jesus.
Actually, the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus is not recorded in Luke's gospel but in the Gospel of Matthew. The story can be found in Matthew 2:1-12. Luke's gospel includes the nativity story, but it focuses more on the shepherds who visited Jesus after his birth.
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 wise men, also known as the Magi, came from the east to worship Jesus after seeing His star in the sky. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to honor Him.
A:The visit of the magi ("wise men") can only be found in Matthew's Gospel and, according to John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus), the universal assumption among people in New Testament circles is that they were not actual people - Matthew was writing Christian midrash. The magi were important to Matthew's account, as they enabled him to explain the flight to Egypt and thus allow him to draw parallels between Moses and Jesus. They were also significant as the magi were priests of the Zoroastrian religion of the Persians, who believed that the Saoshyant would be born of a virgin and help defeat evil in this world. Matthew knew that his readers, being familiar with Zoroastrianism, would draw a parallel here, and he showed that the priests of this great religion came to worship Jesus.
dramaticas an additional meaning beyond the literal meaning of the story
