Explanation:
The wise men, also known as the Magi, gave Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These gifts are significant both symbolically and traditionally. Gold is a symbol of kingship and wealth, frankincense is a perfume or incense often used in religious ceremonies, symbolizing deity, and myrrh is a perfume that was typically used in embalming, symbolizing suffering and mortality. These gifts reflect the roles Jesus would take during his life: as king, as God incarnate, and as a mortal who would die. This event, celebrated as part of the Epiphany, emphasizes the recognition of Jesus as an important figure from the very beginning of his life on earth.
