What are the wise men's steeds?

The wise men are often depicted riding on camels in the traditional Christian nativity story. These camels are believed to have carried the three wise men to visit baby Jesus after following the star.


Did anyone else give gifts to baby Jesus?

According to the biblical account, the three wise men from the East brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to baby Jesus. These gifts are often interpreted to symbolize Jesus' kingship, divinity, and eventual sacrifice.


According to the bible how many wise men are there?

no one really knows how many wise men there were, most people think there were 3, but the Bible says that "the wise men then brought 3 gifts of frankinsence, gold, and myrr." the Bible says that they brought 3 gifts, so in theory, it makes it sound like there were 3 wise men, but there could have been just 1, mabe 2, mabe 100, no one knows. people also think that the wise men came to visit Jesus on the night that he was born, but this is not true, the Bible says that the wise men came to visit him when he was at least a month old or a year old. and if you dont believe what im saying now, you can just go and read your Bible, cause EVERYBODY knows that the Bible is pure truth. ;)


What was the sign in the sky that led the wise men to where Jesus was born?

The sign in the sky was a star. It was a bright star in the East that led the Wise Men to where Jesus was born.


How old was Jesus when the three wise men visited him Who else visited Jesus alone with the wise men at the home of Mary and Joseph Where is it found in scripture?

Matthew 2:1-12 Though it doesn't specify the number of wise men who visited, nor the age of Jesus (it is assumed he was between the ages of newborn to 2 years of age, depending on with whom you speak.) It is assumed from the three gifts, gold, frankinscence and myhrr, that there were three Magi (wise men; magicians?), in later traditions called kings, and even given names. **It should be noted that they first approached Herod, who then ordered the deaths of all infants under the age of three.
