We Three Kings...

Some background on the 3 Kings (also known as wisemen or Magi) who gave gifts to Jesus.

I was watching PBS last night (not my usual source for Biblical revelation) and they had a pretty interesting show on the 3 kings. They pointed out that there may not have been three. The Bible does not say how many there were, only that they brought three gifts. Amazing how tradition can become so ingrained without even realizing it.

Also, Chuck Missler gives some good historical background on the Magi in this article. He also links Daniel to the Magi in his Commentary on Daniel.
