New from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, GIFTS OF THE MAGI is a wonderful Christmas time keepsake that explores the first Christmas gifts. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh - these were the precious gifts offered to the infant Jesus by the Magi, the three wise men who followed a star to the humble dwelling where the Christ child was born. But who were these men, and why did they chose those gifts? Why were frankincense and myrrh considered in biblical times to be as valuable as gold? This book tells the story of the Magi and their journey and explains the symbolism and the significance of their gifts. In addition, it discusses how frankincense and myrrh were grown, harvested, and transported in antiquity and their use in various cultures of the ancient world. The package includes a gift - 24-karat-gold in a glass bottle and frankincense and myrrh in mesh bags that allow their exotic fragrance to emanate.
