The Wise Men / Magi travelled from the East to visit the newborn Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph, presenting the Infant with gifts of gold frankincense, and myrrh. These men are essential to the Christmas story for their gifts denoted the Infant Christ’s status as King in spite of His lowly place of birth. However, few details were given about them in Saint Matthew’s Gospel.
Today, Catholics honor these men as saints, but there is still an aura of mystery about these early worshipers of Christ. Who were they, where did they come from, and do they have more modern counterparts? The Wise Men of the West, a tale of historical fiction, answers these and other questions.
